Winning 70 Per Ct. Of Its Events And Taking Titles
In Baseball And Lacrosse, Maryland Enjoys Great Year

"CHASTENING the Southern Confer-
■*■ ence baseball title and the Nation-
al Collegiate lacrosse crown to laurels
already picked up in the winter and
having good seasons in every other
spring sports, Maryland wound up one
of its finest years in its history during
the 1935-36 term.

Sending varsity and freshman teams
into difficult schedules in football, box-
ing, basket-ball, lacrosse, baseball,
track and tennis, the Old Liners set a
pace matched by few institutions that
battle it out in such fast company.

Record Is Exceptional
Maryland won 59 varsity contests.
lost 23 and tied one, while the year-
lings scored 33 victories, suffered 13
reverses and deadlocked once.

This is better than a 70 per ce'nt
winning average for both the varsity
and frosh teams, an exceptional i
onl.

Boxing Has Tough Luck

Varsity boxing', though it finished in
the red in the won and lost column, had
one of its most interesting seasons
since the pastime was established at
College Park and with a little better
luck might easily have captured the
majority of its meets.

In addition to the bigger titles, the
Terps led the State competition in bas-
ket-hall, baseball and football, and fig-
ured heavily in the selection of all-star
State athletes.

Bernie Buscher also was chosen all-
Southern Conference basketer, Bill
Guckeyson was all-Southern Confer-
ence football back, while Jack Kelly,
goal; Lou Ennis, defense; Herb Brill,
John Christhilf and Charlie Ellinger,
attack, were named on the ail-Amer-
ican lacrosse ten.

Anion Mehring, a member of Mary-
land's rifle team, also was selected as
a member of the all-American college

team. {Continued on Page 6)

Eighty-eight Contests Planned For Terp Sports Schedule

For 1936-37 Term And All Of Them Will Be Difficult

MARLY AND will have difficult
schedules, as usual, in all sports
during the 1936-37 term, and with the
exception of the list for the tennis
team, they are about complete.

Adjustment of a dat? or two in track
•out all that is to be done to com-
plete the various cards, with the ex-
ception of that of the racketers. And
the last mentioned seldom is filled un-
til late in the fall preceding the season.

The Terps football, baseball, boxing,
basket-ball, lacrosse and track engage-
ments call for meeting with teams in
the East. South and Mid-West, and
presage the same sort of keen compe-
tition that marked the 1 1»::.",-:;r, term
and others that have preceded.

Grid ( ard I- Tough

Eleven football games, all of them
major affairs, except the opener with
ill start the Old Line ath-
letes on their way in the 1936-
and from then on it will be sion

of attractive event-.

A feature of the baseball •
next spring will be a trip North after
the scholasti to play \

mont twice. Dartmouth, Yale and I
pie. The jaunt will start June 10 and
end five days later.

In all, the Old Liners plan to com-
pete in 88 varsity events, 11 football
gams, 19 basket-ball contests, 9 la-
crosse frays, 21 diamond tilts, 8 boxing
matches, 10 track meets and 10 tennis

Guckeyson Standing Alone

As A Four-letter Athlete

Bill Guckeyson, the versatile track
man, in the field events and ace foot-
ball player, became a four-letter man
with the close of the baseball season,
during which he played right field reg-
ularly after reporting somewhat after
the start of the campaign.

Guckeyson temporarily was out of
track on account of a nerve ailment in
his shoulder and then turned to the
diamond. His previous letters came in
track, football and basket-ball.

He returned to track in time to win
the javelin title in the District A. A. U.
title meet and to go into the Olympic
trials.

He is the only four-letter man in
school, as Bernie Buscher, who had
gained four insignias was in the grad-
uating class. Guckeyson will be a sen-
ior next fall.

er Maryland men to be invited, but had
to decline. These men selected by the
United States Lacrosse Association,
were regarded as ail-American choices.

Largest Freshman (lass

In History Registered

An increase Of approximately L6
per cent in the freshman class v
the latest report from the registrar's
Office. Returns were greater in the

upper classes than in previous yean,
which means a student body of con-
siderably more than 2,000 in the Col-
lege Park Schools for the ensuing year.
The registrations for the profession-
al schools of the University in Balti-
more are not held until the latter

pari of September. Here, however, the

enrollment is more constant because
of the limited facilities required for
each school. The combined enrollment
for the year is expected to be mo
than 3,500 students. It will be the
largest enrollment in the history of
the University, which is beginning its
one hundred and twenty-eighth year.

News Making Changes

made a part of the publication which

Alumni Luncheon Club

It has been the desire of your Alumni
ociation officers to get more lun-
cheon or dinner clubs organized. The

Maryland graduates in every town of
any size should have at least one clay
each month when they meet, if for only
a few minutes, in an informal way and
discuss the old school. Many worth
while suggestions for the betterment
of the Association would result.

New York and Washington are now
operating luncheon get-togethers sue-
fully. Pittsburgh and Philadelphia
meet in the evenings, Baltimore, or-
ganized last spring, is making good
headway. It is expected that many
more will be organized throughout the
e in the near future.

The only way to keep the old spirit
is to get-together, swap yarns and
keep in touch with the happenings of
your Alma Mater.

Booklet Sent To Alumni

About the first of this month, a pro-
spectus of the University was sent each
Alumnus. The purpose was to give
the old grad an up-to-date view of the
campus and its activities in pictures.

Comments from Alumni on this par-
ticular gesture will )>e appreciated by
the officers. Should such meet with
favor among the Alumni, it will likely
peated each year.

Many of the old triads of ten years
Or more ago who have not returned to
the campus for B visit can readily see
what a revelation has taken place. It
all goes to prove that more Alumni

Short Course For Firemen Held

For the seventh year, the University
has conducted a Short Coui-se for the
Volunteer Firemen of the State. On
September 1, 2, 3, some 150 to 200 men
attended this course in which the in-
structors were men who have had
twenty or more years of fire-fighting
experience. Over sixty companies in
the State were represented.

The firemen received instruction in
several phases of fighting and self-pro-
tection. Attacking actual fires, apply-
ing water and chemicals, wearing gas
masks, saving property and life, were
all included in the comprehensive course.

A high light of the course, was the
lecture by Chief Ross Davis of the
Philadelphia Fire Department who has
spent forty years in the fire-fighting
game. Prof. S. S. Steinberg, acting

With A Fine Array Of Backfield Talent, Maryland's Grid
Coaches And Players Strive To Solve Problems In Line

Blessed with a fine array of backs
who are ready to go places over ground
and through the air. the Maryland
football coaches are faced with line
problems that must be solved if the
Terps are to come out on the long end
of the horn this season.

Facing 11 games. 10 of them of
major caliber. Maryland is striving to
get the needed linemen out of a rather
inexperienced but willing and spirited
bunch of aspirants. The squad in all
totals only 35. more than a dozen less
than received the call to try for jobs.

However, there is not a note of pes-
simism in the Maryland camp, as Head
Coach Frank Dobson, Jack Faber and
Al Heagy and the players co-operate
in a great effort to fill the gaps left
vacant by the graduation of such ex-
ceptional forwards as Lou Er.nis and
Bernie Buscher, ends; Carl Stalfort
and Charlie Callahan, tackles; Ed Mini-
on, guard, aK ulars, and a num-
ber who did fine service in reserve

Snm«. Notable Muck-
Bill Guckeyson, ace runner, and kick-
er; Charlie Ellinger, field general;
Coleman Headley. fleet all-around per-
former, and John Gormley. star block-
er and defensive player, all 1935 regu-
lars; Ed Daly, another letter man
who is almost a duplicate of Gormley
in efficiency; Waverly Wheeler, who
proved his worth last season; Jim

Meade, the sophs main contribution,
and others give the coaches a ball tot-
ing array that also is highly capable
on defense.

Maryland has a pretty good nucleus
around which to build a line in Vic
Willis and Blair Smith, ends; Ed Flet-
cher and John Birkland, tackles; Bill
WOlfe and Mike Surgent, guards; arc!
Frank DeArmey, center; all of them
"M" men in 1935. However, Surgent
and DeArmey were the only regulars,
although Willis figured prominently in
most of the games. However, with the
exception of Charlie Zulick, a tackle;
John McCarthy, an end; and Bill Bry-
ant, a 1935 back; shifted to the wing
position, all of the needed forwards to
complete two sets of linemen essential
to success in a tough campaign, must
come from the ranks of sophs who
lack development.

And no matter how great the back-
field talent, no team ever will meet
with marked success unless it has a
capable forward wall and sufficient re-
placements to keep it solid.

Birals Are Formidable

Not counting St. John's, of course.

every foe of Maryland for 1936 is rated

nger than in 1 '■>'■','>. Maryland with

its line prol«]. particularly under

• two big ga
with Virginia Tech and North Caro-
lina, aa experta are picking the Tar-
heels and Gobblers to be second and

third in the Conference standing at
the finish. Duke is the favorite.

After these two battles, all the Terps
have to do is to oppose Virginia, Syra-
cuse, Florida, Richmond U., Virginia
Military Institute, Georgetown, Wash-
ington and Lee and Western Mary-
land. All have great prospects, with
Florida, V. M. I., Georgetown and
Washington and Lee due to show the
greatest improvement over last fall.

But regardless of what may happen
or what their record may be, the Terps
may be depended upon to play intelli-
gent, scrappy and interesting football,
and what more could be asked?

live Games Are Arranged

For Freshman Grid Squad

Maryland's freshman football team
will play five games, all of them with
yearling combinations of other schools,
four of them with rivals within the
Southern Conference.

Two of the games will be played on
foreign fields and the other three at
home.

If all five of the rivals have as strong
frosh teams as they did last year, the
young Terps will find the going ex-
ceptionally difficult.

Buildings Progressing

It will be a delight to many to know
that good progi-ess is being made on
the new dairy barns, and that in due
course of time, the old building will be
obliterated. The new barns are being
erected on that part of the campus
north of the poultry plant near Paint
Branch. It is a PWA project.

Another project — being watched with
interest, is the Bureau of Mines build-
ing. At the time this was written, con-
struction was approximately one-third
completed.

Robert Paul Straka, '24, (M.S. '26),
is Associate Bacteriologist at the In-
dustrial Farming and Production, Re-
search Division, Bureau of Chemistry
of Soils, U. S. D. A. He is located at
Iowa State, Ames, Iowa.

Columbia System

Following a system somewhat simi-
lar to the one at Columbia, the appli-
cations for admission were passed on
by a Director of Admissions. Wm. M.
Hillegeist, '12, who was for many years
Registrar, now holds this position.

Freshmen began to arrive on the Hill
at College Park as early as 7 A. M.
Monday, September the 14th, and it
was but a short time before they were
University students attending to their
proper assignments.

A new system of registration was
instituted at the University this year.
Heretofore, it was to the Dean's office,
then to the Library, and to the Sec-
tioning Committee, etc. This year every-
thing was carried on in the Gymna-
sium. Each new student, as he en-
tered the front door was met by an in-
formation director, and his routine
prescribed. Everything was attended
to in this building. It took just about
one-third of the time to register a
student.

Special Notice

Alumni are here informed that spe-
cial consideration will be given their
applications for tickets to all athletic
contests during the year. There will be
held until a specified time, a certain
number of tickets in the reserved sec-
tion for Alumni. To procure these
seats it will be necessary for Alumni
to write the Athletic Office. It will be
impossible to hold any seats in this sec-
tion unless checks accompany the or-
ders.

This procedure will assure the Alum-
ni who order tickets in advance to be
seated with Maryland grads. Definite
specifications as to time limits, etc., will
be more fully described in the next
issue.

OCTOBER, liy.iii

FROM OUR PRESIDENT

EtELLOW ALUMNI:

I consider it an honor to be elected

n-nt of our Alumni Association
of the University of Maryland. I
een interested in the Alumni As-
sociation over since my graduation
from the College Park Schools in 1900
and from the Medical School in L904.
My son. Frank Bines, Jr. attended and
graduated in 1933 at College Park.
Convinced as I am that the Alumni
- a highly useful purpose, I have
continued my interest in the Associa-
tion because I believe that it is a vital
link between the University and its
former students. I do not think any
educational institution worthy of the
name can have a healthy, progressive
development without the good will and
active support o: its alumni.

I: is my belief that the officers of
ation must assume genuine
responsibility. Therefore. I assure you
that I intend to do everything in my
power to do what a president should
do. I am sure that I can speak for
the other officers when I say we in-
tend to have a constructive program
of activity this year and that we shall
do our utmost to see that it is carried
out. Our first endeavor is the Alumni
News. You will notice this issue is an
enlargement over the previous ones.
Your support, criticism and sugges-
tions are solicited.

Prom long experience, I know an
Alumni Association President is only
as good as the cooperation he receives.
In the last analysis, what we do or
fail to do this year will depend on you.
I want you. — I urge you. — to take part
in the work of our Association. I be-
lieve now to a greater degree than ever
before, the Alumni Association can be,
and is a vital force to further the in-
terests of the University and of its
alumni.

Do not forget Homecoming on Nov-
ember 14. I expect to see you there.

Sincerely yours,

Frank Hines, '00, Md. '04,
President, Alumni .\ <>n.

Governor Appoints
Fellow Alumnus

Governor Harry \V. Nice, '98, ap-
pointed his fellow alumnus and form-
er law partner, Edwin T. Dickerson,
to the Supreme Court Bench of
Baltimore. Chief Judge Samuel K.
Dennis warmly praised Governor Nice
on the appointment because it "marks
the first time, as far as I can recall,
when any Governor of Maryland has
| gone outside the members of the bar
| subscribing to his own political faith
| to select a new judge."

DO NOT DISAPPOINT

li^oK many years it has been the i
A ton of the University to set aside a

Bpeciflc Saturday during the fall sea-
son as Homecoming for the Old Grade

-a time when entertainment will be
provided by a visiting rival of the
gridiron pastime.

When the day is over, it is some
times said that Homecoming was
marred because "Old Alma .Mammy"
\\ nit down in defeat. This is far from
the actual fact. A small return of
old grade and the disappointment that
comes to those who expected to see
their old school mates, separated by
many years, is the only chance of
spoiling a gala occasion.

It is enjoyable to gather around
the fireside and hear the undergrade
talk with great enthusiasm about the
heroes of the gridiron as fellow stu-
dents but better still is the refreshing
talk with Tim, Tom, Jim or Harry and
maybe Sallv, about old times "on the
hill."

What a wonderful feeling to go back
to the campus at Homecoming and see
those whose fellowship has not been
dimmed by intervening years. What
a revelation, to swap yarns, tell and
hear experiences since the days when
you were undergraduates together and
then back in memory's lane recall how
they looked when they were flashing
cleats in a notable gridiron victory.

What a great opportunity to lay
aside the old daily grind and get into
the swim of campus enthusiasm, relive
for a day the good times of the past,
even though it be in memory — with
your pals of yester years.

If you are not at Homecoming, Sat-
urday, November 14, you will miss a
real day, but still further you will be
missed by many. Do not disappoint
them.

Curley Byrd Still A Fan

Dr. H. C. Byrd (still Curley) has
not lost his interest in athletics despite
the demands of the presidency of the
University. He says he is going to
see every football game the Terps
play this year. It is about all the rec-
reation he gets.

Football Program Growing

Maryland is getting out its own foot-
ball program this year, with Bill Hoi
tel editor, and is hoping before the
>n is over and in the future to
have a worthwhile publication. The

issue for the opening game with St.
John's met with many complimi
and it is planned to effect more im-
provement^ as time marches on.

AS A MARYLANDER SEES EUROPE

By George Fogg, '26, Reference Librarian

II'HII.K a few weeks' trip through
"' several European countries can
hardly make one an authority on the
social, political, and economic problems
of the Old World, it quite definitely
will contribute to a few permanent im-
pressions.

For instance, to many Americans vis-
iting France this summer the spirit
of "Lafayette, we are here" has been
changed to "Lafayette, good-bye forev-
er." The amazing pleasure that French-
men in hotels, restaurants, and public
services seem to derive from insulting
their transient guests was the talk of
a good many returning tourists groups,
and this, along with French dirtiness
as compared with American or other
European standards accounted for no
small number of shortened visits in
gay Paris.

Political disturbances in Paris have
left their mark. Walls are marked with
"A bas La Rocquc" and "Vive le com-
munisnie," and more concrete still, the
walls of the Hotel Crillon still show the
bullet marks where the soldiers fired
on the mob a few months ago. It seems
quite likely that fear of Germany is
all that keeps France from blowing up.

Germany appeals far more to the
average American taste than France.
Returning travellers commented on the
clean, healthy appearance of the Ger-
mans, and their courtesy, friendliness,
and honesty. Perhaps, too, the idea of
a German beer garden with a lively
Bavarian band, a plate of wurst and
cheese, and large family tables of sing-
ing young people is more attractive
than the Parisian amusement of sitting
at a table on the sidewalk of a dusty
boulevard drinking either wine or bad
coffee and speculating on whether the
passers-by come from Iowa or Mich-
igan.

Merry England is now merrier than
it has been for some years. A commer-
cial boom, thousands of tourists, and an
improving employment situation con-
tribute to the merriment. England is
just enough different from America
to be continually interesting and just
enough like home to be always com-
fortable.

Marylandera who feel so inclined
may visit the 14th century Kiplin Hall,
the birth place of the first Lord Balti-
more, or still see the magnificent ruin
that once was Wardour Castle, the
home of the Arundels, whose name ap-
so often on a Maryland map.
Many of the old churches of London
have tablets to the memory of the ear-
ly proprietaries of Maryland. The last
lence of the Lords Baltimore, a

large house at Woodcote, is now the
country club of the Royal Automobile
Club.

There are still some things to be said
about London. All the new policemen
have to be educated in a private school,
so they say, and are uniformly courte-
ous; there are no chain drug stores
with sandwich counters; the subway is
quiet; and there are no Coca Colas.

The attitude toward a future War is
an interesting side-light on popular
feeling. The French are sure that the
Germans are busy nights thinking up
German names for the streets of Paris;
the Germans are quite sure that they
will soon have to polish off Russia and
are certain they can do it; and the
young Englishmen are naive enough
to believe that they can stay out of the
next war.

War talk is ir the background of
the conversations on the continent, but
there is little enthusiasm among the
young people who will fight the bat-
tles. The young men are quick to real-
ize there is quite a difference between
wearing a neat looking uniform in the
streets and in wearing service uniforms
in the trenches. Emphasis on aviation
provides a litttle of the romantic war
talk. The French bluster; the Germans
plan; and the English hope.

University To Have
Historical Museum

Work to establish a state historical
museum at the University is going for-
ward under the supervision of Prof.
Leland G. Worthington, '25, of the
College of Education. Worthington is
collecting rare documents, books, old
weapons, and furniture with a view to-
ward creating interest in the develop-
ment of Maryland since the early Cal-
verts.

On display now at the University of
Maryland Library are two original land
grants, one by the Third Lord Balti-
more to Peter Pinxton, in 1710, and
the other by the Fifth Lord Baltimore
to John Worthington, in 1726. These
were loaned to the University by John
Bowie of Anne Arundel County, and
Professor Worthington. Two early
posters, one advertising the presenta-
tion of three plays at Annapolis in 1798,
and the other soliciting subscriptions
for the Maryland Herald of Easton,
one of the State's oldest newspapers,
are also on display.

The museum is the outgrowth of a
thesis by Professor Worthington on
Maryland history, and is being added
to by contributions of the citizens of
the State.

American Chemical Society
Hears Dr. H. B. McDonnell

At the sixteenth anniversary meet-
ing of the American Chemical Society
held in Pittsburgh, the University was
represented by Dr. L. B. Broughton,
'08, the head of the Chemistry Depart-
ment; Dr. H. B. McDonnell, professor
of Agricultural Chemistry; Dr. N. L.
Drake, professor of Organic Chemis-
try; Dr. C. E. White, '23; and Dr. R. C.
Wiley, associate-professor of Chemis-
try.

Many noted scientists from all parts
of the world attended the meeting and
were surprised to learn of the wide
spread uses of new materials made
every day from unlikely sources, as re-
vealed by American chemists.

Dr. H. B. McDonnell presented a pa-
per on ozone, the purest of air, reveal-
ing that the earth is surrounded by a
poisonous gas. The following is an ex-
cerpt from the Literary Digest's report
on the meeting.

"Dr. H. B. McDonnell, of the Univer-
sity of Maryland, raised guinea pigs in
air rich in ozone, a form of oxygen.
Even a little shortened the animal lives.
A high concentration acted about like
chlorin, one of the war gases. Fortu-
nately, there isn't much ozone in the
atmosphere, and what there is lies high
up.

"Things are delicately balanced on
this earth; if there were more ozone,
we should all be poisoned. If there
were less we'd be scalded to death by

"I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW"

By Frank DOBSON. Head Football Coach

THE A LIMN I NEWS has asked me
to discuss the football situation at
your Alma Mater, which I shall en-
to do as briefly anil frankly as
hie.
None of us is interested in the losses
we have suffered thru the usual and
natural channels, but what we would
know in the main is — "who will
play" and "how will we do."

I feel qualified in a measure to write
of the former, but shall refrain from
commenting on the latter — merely sav-
ing that "I would like to know."

The big issue in the development of
a football team is the line and > nee
the key position in the forward wall on
se as well as offense is center we
will begin our discussion at that impor-
tant post.

Frank DeArmey. who came from
Windber, Pa., as a likely fullback, was
ed to this position last fall and
fulfilled our fondest hopes. He is fast.
strong and big. and much is expected
fit him this year. He is nearly six feet
^y.ll and weighs in the neighborhood of

Next in importance is the young man
who must share this responsibility, and
here we find a highly capable workman
in Bob Walton from Tech H. S., Wash-
ington, whose rapid development has
made this position well fortified. In
contrast, however, to DeArmey, Bob
the same situation with only 164
pounds, a tribute to his spirit and cour-
age.

The men who flank the center can no
longer be clumsy, slow, heavy chaps,
but must have the speed and drive of
a back on offense to qualify for the
guard jobs, and we are fortunate to
carry over from last year Billy Wolfe
and Mike Surgent who are dependable
blockers in and out of the line and hard
g charters on defense. Each car-
ries about 190 pounds and much of the
ss of our running and passing at-
tack depends upon them. John De
Armey, Alex Males and Leroy Witzke
came up from the freshman team and
have made some progr dally

the 1.

•ie important tackle positions we
feel our losses most acutely since ex-
perience is essential to good tackle play
regardless of one's physical attributes.

Birkland, a big rangy six foo: •

inds is the only veteran, and he
is capable of playing better football
than his work last fall indicated. It is
to be hoped that he will measure up to
his sophomore standard in which case
one half of the starting tackle problem
will be solved.

Ed Fletcher, who previously played
guard, has been switched to tackle and,

while not endowed with a tackle's dis-
position, has shown marked improve-
ment to date and at this writing is our
choice to team with Birkland. How-
ever, his 180 pounds tan only stand the
gaff so long against the high class of
opposition we meet for 10 consecutive
weeks and we are working overtime to
find replacements. Egnall and Page,
sophomores, and Zulick, senior, are best
qualified physically, but only Page of
this trio has shown any inclination to
give ami take. There must be a real
love for the game to play tackle since
you are bombarded from all sides and
only hard fighting, courageous big boys
can play there. We hope for a change
of heart in Egnell and Zulick whose

Frank Dobson

efforts, so far, have been disappointing
to all of us.

The situation at the ends has bright-
ened considerable since practice started
and we would have a superb line if the
same type of fight existed for the tack-
le jobs that we find at the flanks. From
the standpoint of experience big Vic
Willis outranks the other candidates
and the same can be said about his
ability as a pass receiver; but thi
must be a vast improvement in his
blocking and defensive work before he
can be stamped as an outstanding wine-
man, and only the hard fames ahead
will prove that. He has entered his
last season with a fine spirit and we
expect him to enjoy his best reason.

Blair Smith, a substitute last year,
i~ vastly improved. He is an excellent
blocker and hard fighter and with the
improvement made to date in his de-
fensive work he has earned the other
starting end.

Nick Budkoff, a strapping youi .

from Lynn, Mass., lacks only speed to
be a standout at end. His fierce charg-
ing and accurate tackling, however,

make it difficult to keep him out of the
picture, and ai present it is our plan to
make full use of his versatility and UB6

him at tackle a- well as end. Tins pro-
cedure 18 farther necessary because of
the utter lack of reserves in the line.

John McCarthy and Bill Bryan:, eon-
verted backs, are making a Btrong hid
for these positions. Each is a capable
pass receiver and has made progress
in practice. The big question to be an-
swered now is just how tough and ag-
gressive they will be under tire.

As we approach the layman's unit of
a football team, the backfield, we find
much to be thankful for, but in all hon-
esty not as much as we are credited
with in quantity. Two complete sets
of backs can be called upon and our
schedule will require their constant use.

Heading this list of talented ball car-
riers is Bill Guckeyson of Bethesda,
Maryland, who can be truthfully called
a product of Maryland's sane athletic
policy and the best half-back it has
ever been my pleasure to coach. This
young man not only possesses all the
requisite qualifications of a great foot-
ball player and all around athlete, but
his quite unassuming manner of carry-
ing his honors makes for a type of
leadership that must be inborn.

At this date this greyhound of a half-
back is inactive because of a strained
muscle in the upper leg, and by the
time this message reaches you, the
press will have broadcast information
as to the seriousness of his ailment.
Naturally, such an outstanding player
as Bill exerts a mental as well as phys-
ical influence on a team, but to the
everlasting credit of the fine bunch of
boys in our squad no evidence of pes-
simism is to be found.

Our team will be directed by Charlie
Ellinger, of Baltimore, whose rise from
a substitute end to quarterback has
been phenomenal. He carries his re-
sponsibility lightly and the team re-
flects his fighting qualities and leader-
ship. His drive and tackling are great.
Coleman Headley, of College Park, will
nominally be listed as a halfback but
his versatility equips him for van
duties and he will carry on for Ellinger
when necessary. Coleman is an excel-
lent dodger and nearly matches Guck-

n's speed. He is a hard accurt
blocker and fine tackier.

We are well fixed at fullback witii
John Gormley of Tech H. S., Washing-
ton, and Ed Daly of Peddie. H
in the line, we find two hoy- who arc-
typical coach' . because the im-
portant factors they are to the
succe unnoticed except on de-
fense. The rno-t unselfish players on

Flashy Backs Will Add Color To Homecoming Game

With Virginia Military Institute On November 14

By W. H. ("HILL") HOTTEL

ItfAm l.AM'S "HOMECOMING"

■*■ " tilt with Virginia Military Insti-
tute on November 14 promises to be

one of the must colorful, closest and in-
teresting games the Old Liners ever
have played with the Cadets.

In the first place, the Cadets doubt-
less have the best team that has worn
their colors in recent years, and pos-
sess one of the flashiest backfields in
the South.

Trzeciak, V. M. L's sophomore quar-
terback, has been one of the sensations
of the grid campaign. He's probably
the best back to come up from a year-
ling team in Virginia in years, and a
triple-threater in every sense of the
word. His passing, kicking and run-
ning have been sensational, and his
dash of 101 yards for a touchdown
against South Carolina on a fake-kick
play may go into the record books as
the longest run of 1936.

V. M. I. has three other brilliant ball
toters in Roberson and Clark, the se-
niors, and Kovar, another sophomore
star.

Terp Backs Good, Too

DI'T Maryland also has its share of
** speed and color in its backfield
with Bill Guckeyson, Coleman Headley,
Charlie Ellinger and John Gormley,
last year's regular quartet; Jim Meade
and Charlie Weidinger, a pair of scin-
tilating sophs, and Waverly Wheeler
and Ed Daly, who have displayed their
prowess in many games.

Probably the outstanding linesmen
on the teams are Willis, Maryland's
great all-around end and pass snagger,
and Farley, V. M. I. guard who could
play on any man's eleven.

There, of course, are others on both
■us with marked grid ability and,
;i- far a^ could be forecast when this
was written, a 50-50 contest is in sight.
Maryland bad a tough time beating a
le-> capable V. M. I. team last year,
6 to 0.

Maryland and V. M. I. first met back
in 1906, just .'!<) year- ago, and have
played II games in all. Of these the
Old Liners have won eight, the Cadets
four, and two have ended in tie>.

Plaj Thrilling Game
DROBABLY the most thrilling battle
*■ ever staged between the Old Liners
and Cadets, one thai many of the

alumni will recall with a thrill, was
played back in 1916 at College Park
when Maryland won, 15 to 9.

In that game, Maryland led 3 to
and .'5 to 2 early in the contest, trailed
G to 9 at the half and was in command
in the last part or" the battle. Michael
made Maryland's only touchdown,
Jamie Smith kicked a field goal and
Untz Brewer booted two.

Others to play for Maryland were
Capt. Lyman Oberlin, M. Rich, Ralph
Into, C. C. Tarbutton, A.A. Murrell,
H. M. (Fuzzy) Coster, W. M. Kish-
paugh, W. B. Posey, Dutch Axt, Hobby
Derrick and Ike McDonald. R. S. Dear-
styne was manager and J. H. Rems-
burg was assistant manager.

Oberlin and Brewer are all-time all-
Maryland players at tackle and half-
back, respectively, and some of the
others were outstanding. Into trans-
ferred to Yale and became one of the
finest linesmen the Elis ever had and
was selected for several ail-American
teams.

Posey and Derrick are county agents
and Axt lives just off the campus.

Leech, of V. M. I., Great

JIMMY LEECH, who scored V. M. L's
** touchdown, was one of the country's
greatest backs and still holds the rec-
ord for the number of touchdowns gar-
nered in one season — 26 in 1920.

Leech, like Brewer and a lot of
others in college in 1916-17, was out
for a couple of years serving in the
World War. He came back to be bet-
ter than ever in 1919 and 1920.

It was in the V. M. I. game that
Brewer made one of the most cele-
brated punts on record. Standing be-
hind his own goal line he booted the
ball 95 yards from the line of scrim-
mage, it going out of bounds on V. M.
L's three-yard marker. On the next
play Leech booted from behind his goal.

Other members of the 1916 squad
who did not get into the game against
V. M. I. were Avy Williams, a great
center; Andy Fletcher, a scintilating
back; Stubbs, an outstanding end, all
of whom were on the injured list; Bert
Coggins, Leiter Aitcheson, Jimmy Ste-
vens and McConnell.

Reunion For 1912

The class of 1912, under the leader-
ship of Bob Tolson, President, is mak-
ing plans for its twenty-fifth reunion.
The first meeting of the committee in
charge will be held Saturday, No-
vember 14, the annual Fall Homecom-
ing. Plans cannot be started too
soon. How about your class ?

"I Would Like To Know"

(Continued from page 5)

this key assignment to our complete
satisfaction.

Waverley Wheeler, another Tech H.
S. boy showed rapid improvement last
fall in his first year of football and he
will furnish acceptable replacement at
halfback.

From the freshman team of last year
Jim Meade, of Tome Institute, Port De-
posit, Maryland, has lived up to the
great promise he gave, and, with the
experience he will gain this fall, bids
fair to be given a place among Mary-
land's greatest backs. He lugs 190
pounds around like a sprinter, loves to
play, and above all is a team player.

Charlie Weidinger, a quarterback,
and Fred Hewitt, halfback, have really
exceeded our fondest hopes and each
bids fair to be worthy successors along
with Meade to the five great backs we
lose this year.

Our season closes on December 5,
with Western Maryland in Baltimore.
The rest of the schedule you know. As
to the outcome "I would like to know."

Team, Comes In For High Praise

\PPOINTMENT of Mai. Harvey I..
( Heinie) Miller as boxing coach at
Mai yland has met with compliments

on all siilos. Here is what the Hds/i-
iityton Star had to say about him:

"Maryland's ring destiny has as-
sumed a rosy hue with the appoint-
ment of Miller, who. despite partici-
pation in 806 boots, is unmarked by
the usual cauliflower ears of veteran
pugilists. Miller intends to eliminate
the off-balance, wild swinging phase
of collegiate righting and instruct the
Terps in the style of boxing that car-
ried him to several titles.

"Thus, with Miller's appointment
local collegiate clouting has been plac-
ed on a new high plane, with Eddie La-
fond. Catholic University coach and
local referee, also well versed in sci-
entific noggin-knocking.

"Miller. secretary of the District Box-
ing Commission, long has been iden-
tified with boxing. As a tighter, he
lost but six encounters while winning
the bantamweight championship of the
Army. Navy and Marine Corps and
the professional featherweight and
lightweight titles of the Far East.

Keeps Up With dame

former Maryland mittman, who tu-
tored the freshman squad last year."

R. O. I. C. Boys Win Many Honors

By .M.\. i. HOWARD Clark, 2nd

117 HEN the Maryland boys returned
" from the annual Bommer encamp-
ment for Advanced R. (). T. ('. students

Fori Washington, they brought with

them the lion's share of the honors.

Out of a total enrollment of 431 men

from '22 universities, 49 men from
Maryland won 24 prizes, or 35ft of
the total number of awards for mili-
tary and athletic attainments.

g the regular army service rifle,
four men of the unit qualified as ex-
pert riflemen, 14 as sharpshooters and
2 1 as marksmen, for a percentage of
s7' 2 which was not only the record
for the cam]), but also set a new rec-
ord for rifle marksmans'.iip qualifica-
tions in R. 0. T. C. camps for the Third
Corps Area. The four expert riflemen
who won the right to compete in the
National Matches at Camp Perry, Ohio,
were Raymond Davis, E. F. Mueller,
Wilson C. Clark, and \V. G. Calder.

On the pistol range, Maryland was
surpassed only by Penn State, who
have a pistol range on their campus
for practice. Thirty-six Maryland men
qualified for a percentage of 73.4.
Onlv two Marvlanders had ever fired

a ,45-calibre service pistol before go-
ing to camp.

Outstanding on the rifle and pistol
range was Raymond Davis, who won
the camp championship in both. With
the rifle. Davis and Mueller were tied
tor top honors which were decided in
favor of the former on his 200 yards'
Standing score, was one point higher
than Mueller's record at that range.

In addition to the above honors, the
Champion Rifle Squad was composed
of all Maryland nun — Mueller, Kelly,
Dial, Berjrer, Sinsheimer, Scott, Cooke,
and Webb.

The outstanding individual honor
was won by Harold L. Kelly of Silver
Springs, who was named the camp
Honor Student. Kelly, a senior this
year, is a member of the boxing squad
and colonel of the R. 0. T. C. regiment.

Jumping over to the athletic awards,
we find Maryland winning the volley
ball tournament and horseshoe cham-
pionship. Two men were placed on the
camp baseball team; R. B. Graves won
the 11") pound boxing honors; and the
Terrapin swimmers captured four first
places in the tank tournament.

Basket-ball and Ring Combinations

will Start with Experienced Talent

" call now, Coach Burton Shipley
of the basketers and Maj. Harvey
Miller, the new boxing mentor, are
thinking about the seasons in their
respective sports.

Boxing workouts will start in the
near future and some basketball prac-
tice will be held before the gridiron
-on is over.

Both sports have sufficient leftovers
around which to build good teams.
There are seven letter men left in
basket-ball. However, Bernie Buschcr
and Vic Willis, the two big scorers of
the Terps, are lost. Buscher was
graduated last .June and Willis, row
shining on the grid, has played his

commentator, at the microphone, the
following Terrapin games will go over
the airlanes: November 14 — Virginia

Grads Seek Regular
Army Commissions

A year ago Representative Thoma-
son instituted in Congress a bill, later
to be known as the Thomason Act,
which was beneficial to the Officers
Reserve Corps of the U. S. Army. This
Act provides for commissioning 1,000
R. 0. T. C. graduates throughout the
United States for a period of one year.
At the end of the appointment, an un-
determined number will be chosen for
regular army commissions.

The University of Maryland was no-
tified that a quota of five would be
chosen. As time went on the caliber
of men graduating from Maryland so
impressed the army personnel that six-
teen men were finally chosen.

Through the cooperation of Colonel
Patch, we are able to give the names
of those who have accepted the ap-
pointments and their post assignments
as follows:

From the class of '36, John M. Fir-
min, Brady J. Dayton, Ernest R. Ea-
ton, W'illiam A. Hart, Francis D.
Shoemaker, Joseph H. Morgan are sta-
tioned at Fort Howard, Md. Arthur
B. House, '33, is also at the same post.

At Fort George G. Meade, we find
Ray F. Chapman, '35; William R. Beall
and Raymond F. Bartelmes, both of
'36. Thaddeus R. Dulin, '35, and Tal-
bert A. Smith, '33, are at Fort Wash-
ington. John Simpson, '35, is at Fort

hatan Hotel, 18th Street and Pennsyl-

Women's Dorm Needs Name

Suggestions are now in order for
a name for the new women's dormi-
tory. One name recently suggested by
Clifton E. Fuller, '96, of Cumberland,
Md.. was Martha Washington, in honor
of the wife of the first President of the
United States. The University authori-
ties are anxious to give it a name asso-
ciated with colonial history, but are
partial to a name prominent in colonial
affairs in Maryland.

Constructive reminders of errors

which appear in the Alumni News
are always helpful and appreciated.

Whether these errors be intentional or
typographical they should not go un-
noticed.

In the October issue the editor's at-
tention was called to a grammatical
error "to who" which should have read
"to whom." This was typographical.
However, only one alumnus wrote the
editor about it and he failed to sign
his name; therefore, it is not possible
to publicly give proper credit to the
observing person.

Five thousand copies of the News
were circulated and only one, as far
as I know, observed the error. Now
what does this indicate? The class of
1927 gets the credit for having an
alumnus who reads the News from
cover to cover and is further a good
observer.

Gertrude Chesnut Resigns

Miss Gertrude Chesnut, who has for
nine years capably fulfilled her posi-
tion at the University of Maryland in
the Bureau of Information, has re-
signed her position here to become
Women's Editor of the New York Of-
fice of Transradio Press Service.

After a year, possibly, in which
Gertrude will learn the ropes as a staff
writer in the comparatively new field
of radio news, a branch of the service
may be established in Washington.

Miss Chesnut is a member of the
Alpha Omicron Pi sorority, and of the
clubs in the College of Home Econom-
ics. She also was a member of the
Women's Athletic Association and the
Y. W. C. A. Her assistance has been
■t.imably valuable to the Alumni
Association.

Her departure, which happens to be
the day after Homecoming, brought
a great loss to this University. On
behalf of the Alumni Association, the

News extends to her the best wi

for all possible success.

H. M. Davis/74, Oldest Graduate, Dies

Horace Rlosell Davis, 85-year-old re-
tired Montgomery County school teach-
er and oldest living graduate of the

University of Maryland, died at the
home of his daughter, Airs. Marshall
Hersperger, October '.», l '.•:><;.

A native of Frederick County, Davis

known as Maryland Agricultural Col-
lege and graduated in 1874. He taught
in Montgomery County schools for a
time and then returned to college to
receive his M. A. degree in 1877.

six years, returning to Montgomery
County in 1884 to take up farming
and to teach at Poolesville School, a
position he held for 26 years. He
also served as a vestryman at St.
Peter's Episcopal Church.

In addition to his daughter, Mrs.
Hersperger, he is survived by one son,

urer's office, and two great-grand
children.

Extension Service Has Active Season

rpHE EXTENSION SERVICE of the
-■- University, under the leadership
and direction of Dr. Thomas B. Sy-
mons, '02, has been especially active
during the summer months. During the
month of June more than 700 women
from every county in the State attend-
ed the fourteenth annual Rural Wom-
en's Short Course. One of the high-
lights of this event was an address by
U. S. Senator Millard E. Tydings, '10.
In August the Extension Service as-
sisted in entertaining a large delega-
tion of grange leaders from the States
of Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania,
New Jersey and New York upon the
occasion of the tenth annual meeting
of the Middle Atlantic Grange Lec-
turers' Association. More than 400
grangers attended the meeting, 50 of

whom were from Maryland. Albert
A. Ady, '26, assistant county agent for
Montgomery County and lecturer for
the Maryland State Grange, took a
most active part in making the visit-
ing grangers feel at home in Maryland.
Immediately preceding the Grange
conference the campus was the scene
of much activity when nearly 500 4-H
Club boys and girl: from all sections
of the State held their eighteenth an-
nual Club Week at the University un-
der the auspices of the Extension Serv-
ice. Here again Mr. Ady took an ac-
tive part as well as the following
other Maryland alumni: Warren My-
ers, '30; Mylo Downey, '27; Wheeler
Ensor, '33; Harry Myers, '28; Charles
Remsburg, '26, Isabel Bewick, '30, and
Elizabeth Johnson, '35.

Stanford, '99, Dies

At the age of 54, death took the life
Of Harry R. Stanford, '99, during the

iimmer. His death was due to
complications from pneumonia. He
..a- horn in Boston, but has been a

nt of Washington. D. ('., since
childhood.

II. graduated from the University in

and was a sponsor of the class
medal to the student winning the an-

nual individual competitive drill. At
the time of his death, he was president
and owner of the Stanford Paper Co.
He was buried at Leesburg, Va.

IJ V good education is generally con-
sidered as reflecting no small credit on
its possessor; but in the majority of
eases it reflects credit on the wise so-
licitude of his parents or guardians,
rather than on himself.

Student Parachute Artist
Amazes Homecoming Crowd

One undergraduate probably drew
more attention than did any of the
9,000 returning alumni at the Home-
coming game.

All eyes were turned upward at half
time as Kim Scribner, freshman engi-
neer, prepared to make his entrance to
the game. At an altitude of 8,000 feet
the Old Line birdman bailed out of the

NOVEMBER, !!>;<;

« HOMECOMING-A GREAT SUCCESS »

MARYLAND'S fourteenth annual
*■"*■ Homecoming on November L4

the most colorful ever held in
Byrd Stadium since its dedication in
1923 to H. a "Curley" Byrd, '08, now

ient of his Alma Mater. The
"Old Line" holiday spirit was entered
into wholeheartedly by alumni and
students. The cooperation of the many
student organisations extended old
grads a most enthusiastic welcome.
Every function daring the day was well
attended, and every sorority and fra-
ternity had a packed house.

Alumni began to arrive as early as
Friday afternoon to make it a real
week-end. Early Satur-
day morning the old
grads assembled at the
Ritchie Coliseum to
swap greetings and
yarns. As fast as regis-
trations were recorded,
the names were posted
on a blackboard to make
it easier for the alumni
to see who was on hand.
This feature proved quite
helpful in getting old ac-
quaintances together.
The returning throng:
ied by J. B. Gray.
75, oldest living alum-
nus, and the father of
two sons who are grad-
uates. Other promi-
nent and notable alum-
ni among the returning
old grads were Senator
Millard E. Tydings, '10;
Hon. W. P. Cole, '10, U.
S. Congressman; Dr.
W.W. Skinner, '95, Hon.
Henry Holzapfel, Jr.,
'93, member of the Board of Regents;
F. H. Dryden, '09, State Administra-
tor of the Social Security Adminis-
tration.

The loss of the football game to the
Flying Squadron of V. M. I. only par-
tially marred the spirit of the day.
The game contained many thrilling
plays and the crowd was held breath-
mtil the final whistle. Mary-
land's 7 point lead was not matched
un::l the final period when the Kaydets
went on the fly to score. A penalty
on Maryland was the break which the
Kaydets promptly took advantage to
put across the winning score. With but
a few minutes to go the Terps started
a drive which only time stopped.

During half-time, one of the day's
outstanding colorful events was pre-
sented. A float parade of various de-

signs was participated in by Frater-
nities, sororities and oilier student or

ganizations. The arraj of artistic, his-
toric and comic floats was led by Mary-
land's famous band. Prizes were award-
ed to Alpha Tau Omega for the most
comic. A. 0. I'i won the artistic award,
and the Day Dodgers, the historic.

Immediately after the game the an-
nual "M" Club meeting was held in
the environs of the Trophy Room of
the Ritchie Coliseum. Lewis YV. Thom-
as. "28, president, was re-elected unan-
imously for his second term.

The enjoyable gathering of the day
for old grads was the Alumni Mixer

and Get-together held in the Girls'
Field House at 5 P. M., followed by a
buffet supper. Here everybody had a
chance to meet schoolmates, faculty
members and casually discuss the Uni-
versity happenings. More than 300
alumni, faculty, and friends of the
University attended this popular af-
fair.

Crowning the colorful events of the
day was the Homecoming Dance, held
for the first time in the Ritchie Col-
iseum. Dan Gregory's popular orches-
tra from Harrisburg provided rhythm
and entertainment for the dance. Three
prizes, spot dances, and a Paul Jones
added a greal deal to the spirit of the
occasion. Mi-- Edith Remson, lady
friend of Henry G. Knoche, was award-
ed the prize for the Alumni Dance.
The prize for the football dance was

awarded to Miss Edith Gram, a COed
and dancing partner o( "BUI" Bryant,
an end on the team. .lack \m i i

came Forward with the lucky number

for the prize open to all attending the
dance. At 12 o'clock the lights went
out and everybody said good night in
a fond embrace for the greatest Home-
coming ever held.

"M" Club Re-elects

Thomas, '28, President

IN the environs of the trophya of the
*-past, Lewis W. "Knocky" Thomas,
former Btar of the gridiron and
cinder path was re-elected presidenl
of the "M" Club. A very good repre-
Bentation of the club's membership
was present for the fourteenth annual
business session. Dr. K. N. Cory, '09,
was re-elected secretary.

President Thomas gave the club a
resume of activities during the past
year, and outlined some interesting
proposal- for the ensuing year. Out-
standing, was the plan for soliciting
life membership in the club.

Professor Geary Eppley, '18, direc-
tor of athletics, was called on to give
the Club a talk on the athletic achieve-
ment and proposed policies of the Uni-
versity, which he did in a very compre-
hensive way.

The meeting adjourned at 6 P. M. to
attend the Alumni Mixer and Buffet
Supper which was being held in the
Girls' Field House. This was followed
by the annual Homecoming Dance,
sponsored by the "M" Club. The dance
brought to a close the greatest Home-
coming the University has had in many
years.

Ruth Kreiter To
Head Debate Club

At elections staged Wednesday, Ruth
Kreiter of Washington was named to
head the Calvert Debate Club for
1936-37.

Fay Snyder was chosen secretary to
fill the vacancy left by Ruth Kreiter,
who resigned that position to accept
the executive post. Alan Brown will
continue to serve as vice-president of
the organization.

Washington Alumni

Hold Get-together

Frank Dobson, head coach of foot-
ball was the principal speaker at a
rally held by the Washington Alumni

Club, early in November at the Hamil-
ton Hotel in Washington. Many of tin'
old boys were on band for a general

together, and gabfest on the cur-
rent Football.

Pn ident Douglas Wallop, Jr., 'lit.

ided. The get-together started otf

with a buffet BUpper with a good sup-
ply of I the beverage. Dinty

Coons, 'l".». secretary, and Charley

Bishop, '•':<>. were the able assistants.

The old round robbin discussion was
aided by .Jack Faber, '30, all active
with the football squad. Geary Epply,
'18, director of athletics, gave some in-
side information as to how Alumni can
help in having good athletics at Mary-
land.

Plans were discussed when another
such affair would be held during the
basket-ball and boxing season, which is
the next attractive program. Do not
miss these functions. Keep in contact
with fellow Alumni by attending these
informal gatherings.

Where Were You ?

Fellow Alumni:

Everything about Homecoming last
Saturday was so enjoyable with the
possible exception of the football
score, that I can not miss this oppor-
tunity to tell those who were not there
what they missed. From the time
you arrived on the campus until you
left, there was a real holiday spirit
among students and Alumni.

More old Grads were on hand than I
have ever seen at College Pai'k,and I for
one certainly did enjoy seeing many
old faces, and getting acquainted with
new ones.

The program for the day was well
arranged and Lewis W. (Knocky)
Thomas, '28, president of the "M"
Club and myself had the best coopera-
tion possible from our alumni on the
campus.

I was personally impressed by the
splendid spirit exhibited by the student
body. It is something that makes the
old back-bone tingle with thoughts of
our own undergrad day. I was actu-
ally 10 years younger that day.

Those of you who were not there
were missed by many and missed
yourself a most enjoyable time. I
warn you, do not let it happen again.
See you next month.

Sincerely yours,
Frank Hines, '00,
President, Alumni Association.

Freshman Class Elects

Robert Lodge, from Baltimore, was
elected president of the freshman class
at the first major election of the year.
The largest vote in the history of class
elections was recorded. Carl Goller
won the vice-presidency while Sarah
Ann Vaiden lead in the race for sec-
retary.

Baltimore "M" Men
Hold Rally

The Baltimore Chapter of the "M"
Club held a pre-Homecoming rally at
Collins Restaurant in Baltimore. No
speeches, but a round table discussion
about past and present football high-
lights.

Arthur Shanklin, '90, and Dr. Arthur
Hebb, '91, two old timers marveled at
the great changes in football since
their days. There was a great deal
of interest in the moving picture of the
Maryland-Florida game which was
shown.

Lewis W. "Knocky" Thomas, '28, at-
tended the meeting and gave a short
talk on the proposed Homecoming pro-
gram. He urged the group to have
more gatherings which will endeavor
to kindle more spirit in the University
affairs.

Flying A. T. O's.

Bill "Country" Moore, '26, started a
tradition in the Maryland chapter of
Alpha Tau Omega which was main-
tained for five years, when he entered
the Air Corps Training School at Kelly
Field, San Antonio, Texas.

Bill was the first of the A. T. O's. to
survive the "toughest training" in the
world; government statistics show that
only forty-six per cent of these enter-
ing the flying school ever graduate.

Ed "Budnitz" Wheeler, '22, and Chal-
mers "Han'some" Hughes, '22, were the
next two to go to Texas and upheld the
tradition by graduating with honors.
Joe Caldara, '31, followed by Bob Al-
len, '32, and George Hargis, '31, en-
tered the Air Corps Training Center,
a combination of Randolph and Kelly
Fields which made the school the most
outstanding military flying instruction
institution in the world.

Since Hargis finished no more of the
A. T. O. men have gone into flying and
most of those who followed the profes-
sion have abandoned it. Bill Moore is
the only one flying for a profession;
Hughes is in the Department of Com-
merce; Ed Wheeler is a lumber man in
Bel Air; Bob Allen is a safety engineer
in New York. George Hargis is proj-
ect engineer for the City of Frederick
and Joe Caldara is a sales supervisor
for the B. F. Goodrich Company in
Washington, D. C.

This is the pride of A. T. O.: that
none of its members who entered the
Hying school ever "washed out."

Forces Leading To The Establishment of
Maryland Agricultural College

By George Fogg. '26.

T ELAND G. WORTHINGTON, "26,
■^ in a recent master's thesis, lias
brought together an enormous amount
of material relating to the events and
people who finally established the Mary-
land Agricultural College. Now the
College Park Schools of the University.

He shows how the foundation of the

school traces directly from the reckless

agricultural practices of the early col-
onists, who. with almost limitless areas
of land available, saw no reason to
husband the productive capacities of
the soil. But soon the land was all
taken up, and the State suffered a
period of severe agricultural depres-
sion. For relief, the agricultural lead-
ers of the eighteenth and nineteenth
centuries turned to means of dissemi-
nating the more highly developed prin-
ciples of European agriculture.

One of the first means to this end,
was the establishment of many agri-
cultural societies and periodicals. One
of the most important of the latter
was the American Farmer, founded by
John S. Skinner.

The next proposition was for the
establishment of numerous agricultur-
al schools and pattern farms. One of
the leaders in this movement was Lit-

tleton D, Teackle, who succeeded only
partially in his project. For, though he

was instrumental in reorganizing the

State school program, and was made
superintendent of public instruction,
he was not authorized to inaugurate
any program of agricultural education.
In is:;:; the legislature authorized

the construction of a geological map
and survey of tin- State for the pur-
pose of correctly estimating its agri-
cultural resources.

Along this line, the State, in 1848,
iblished the office of agricultural
chemist, and appointed Mr. James
Higgins of Anne Arundel County to
the post. For the sum of $1,500 per
year this gentleman was expected "to
analyze specimens of each variety of
soil, marl or other mineral of vegetable
deposit; to deliver one public lecture
in each election district and a course
of public lectures at each county town
and some central place in Baltimore
County, and permit the clerk of the
levy court or tax commissioner to take
a copy of his lectures for publication
and preservation."

In the meantime numerous agricul-
tural societies and farmers clubs had
been educating the public mind to the

necessity for training in efflcienl agri-
culture if the State was t<> avoid fui

ther loss. Although this general mow

ment began before 1800, tin- first date
of great importance to us is Septem

ber •"'. IMS. when Charles B. Calvert

called to order the Maryland State
Agricultural Convention in Baltimore.

Out of this meeting grew the Mary-
land State Agricultural Society, which,
among other things, petitioned the
State and Federal Governments for the
establishment of an agricultural col-
lege and experimental farm.

Failing in both directions, the soci-
ety passed several caustically censur-
ing resolutions and set about seeking
independent means for the establish-
ment of such a school.

Among the numerous proposals
brought forward to this end was the
plan to purchase Mount Vernon, then
in rather bad condition. Finally, how-
ever, the society decided to seek a
Maryland charter for the establish-
ment of such a school by private sub-
scription under its own general con-
trol, Governor Ligon recommended in
his message of January 2, 1856, that
"something be done . . . for the pro-
motion of our agricultural education."
Backed by the American Farmer and
the Maryland State Agricultural Soci-
ety, Colonel Sothoron, on January 15,
1856, introduced into the Senate the
bill which eventually established the
Maryland Agricultural College. It be-
came a law on March 6, 1856.

Geoffrey O'Hara

Thrills Students

By Chris Kempto.v

A vibrant, tall, white-haired mu-
sician stepped out on the University
stage; said a few words; and held an
eager audience in the palm of his hand.

The man was Geoffrey O'Hara, na-
tionally known composer of such songs
as "K-K-K-Katy." and "Give a Man a
Horse He Can Ride." Mr. O'Hara
spoke on the subject, "Everyone a
Composer," illustrating cleverly on the
piano.

Geoffrey O'Hara was brought here
by Maryland's active music director,
Harlan Randall. The program con-
'>{ Mr. O'Hara's songs and ar-
rangements, sung by the Men's Glee
Club; Women's Chorus; the mixed
chorus; Mr. and Mrs. Randall; and
the Washington Mixed Quartet.

est in the history of the association
showing conclusively that the old line
spirit is rapidly improving among the
old graduates. As one alumnus said,
"I have been riding free lounge long

enough and it about time I should
help pay the freight." The big train
is going forward and gaining speed
every day. Every alumnus is a pa-
tented passenger and the following

Of Grid Team Feel Strain

And Drop Games On Foes' Late Scores

.Maryland, with shortage of line re-
serves, has felt the strain of its long
schedule and after winning four of
the first live has had to take some de-
feats in close games in which it could
not "last" after getting out in front.

Florida was the first case at Gaines-
ville, on October 31, when the 'Gators
got a late score to win, 7 to 6, in a
game in which the Terps gained more
than double the ground of the winners.
Injuries also hampered the Terps in
this game.

A tired team got by Richmond, 12 to
0, but then ran afoul of V. M. I. on
Homecoming Day, November 14, and
after getting an easy early touchdown
and leading 7 to into the fourth quar-
ter, finally lost out, 13 to 7.

A same kind of a fate befell the
Terps on November 21 when they
gave way to Georgetown, 7 to 6, when
the latter blocked a kick in the last
period for its touchdown. Maryland
got its score in the second quarter and
missed another when a touchdown pass
was dropped in the end zone.

Of course, dropping a pass merely
is a mechanical error that should not
be criticized, probably not even men-
tioned, as is the fact that ties could
have been gained with Florida and
Georgetown had the extra point not
been missed. Maryland has had 15
"iron men" do nearly all its playing
and the burden has been too much.

However, the fact remains that the
Terps' attack has not been as con-
sistently effective as it was in past
years, despite the pi'esence of the
great Bill Guckeyson and other such
unusually fine backs as Coleman Head-
ley, Jim Meade, Charlie Ellinger, John
Gormley and Edmond Daly.

Results of the past games:
Maryland, 20; St. John's, 0.
Maryland, 7; Virginia Tech, 0.
Maryland, 0; North Carolina, 14.
Maryland, 21; Virginia, 0.

Basket-ball Season Gets Early Start-
Two Games Slated Before Christmas

While football was still in progress,
Maryland was getting ready to open
its basket-ball schedule, games being
slated before Christmas with Richmond
at Richmond on December 17 and Uni-
versity of Baltimore at College Park
the next night.

Only three of the seven 1935-36 let-
ter men are working out at present.
Fred Thomas and Charlie Keller,
guards, and Al Waters, forward, as
Bill Bryant, Waverly Wheeler and John
McCarthy are with the Varsity grid
squad and it is not expected that Ben
Allen, from the Pharmacy School in
Baltimore, will play this season. It is
difficult for him to get away to practice
enough to fit into the team, although
he is a highly capable performer.

Coach Burton Shipley expects to
have Hill Guckeyson and possibly Cole-
man Headley for his basket-ball com-
bination. Guckeyson, who won his let-
ter in his sophomore year, plans to
play, and Headley, a really fine court
guard, hopes to unless he is prevented
from doing so by indoor track.

In addition to the letter men who
ted early toil, a number of last

year's frosh are getting in their licks.
Leaders among the rookies are George
Knepley, an exceptional performer;
Eddie Johnson, son of the great pitch-
er, and Bob Neilson and Milton Mul-
litz.

When "Ship" gets his full array, he
should be able to build another one of
his able machines but the quintet is
facing a handicap in playing Richmond
and Baltimore so soon after the foot-
ball campaign ends.

Here is the complete schedule with
last year's scores in parenthesis:

December 17 — Richmond U., Richmond,
Va. (28-24).

December 18 — Baltimore U., College
Park (55-33).

January 6 — Johns Hopkins, College
Park (45-40).

January 8 — Washington and Lee, Lex-
ington, Va., (27-30).

January 9 — V. M. I., Lexington, Va.
".2).

January 14 — Western Maryland, Col-
lege Park.

January 16— Duke, College Park (38-
34).

.January 20 — Washington College, Col-
lege Park (")(;-.•{()).

Januarv 23 — Virginia, College Park
(40-34).

Seven 1937 Grid
Games At "Home"

Maryland's 1937 football schedule,
which was announced just after the
close of the 1935 campaign, will find
the Terps doing little traveling as com-
pared to 1936.

In fact, seven of the ten 1937 con-
tests will be played at spots that may
be called "home" gridirons. Just three
actually will be played at College Park,
but three others will be in the Balti-
more Stadium and the tilt with
Georgetown will be at Griffith Stadium
in Washington.

Virginia, which was originally sched-
uled to visit College Park this year,
"swapped" games with Maryland and
consequently the 1937 tilt with the Cav-
aliers, which was first announced for
Charlottesville, will be played at Col-
lege Park.

Maryland's only trips next year will
be to play V. M. I., Penn and Penn
State, both of the latter being on the
Maryland slate for the first time in
recent years.

Here is the attractive 1937 card:

September 25 — St. John's, College
Park.

October 2 — Pennsylvania, Philadelphia.

October 9 — Western Maryland, Balti-
more Stadium.

October 16 — Virginia, College Park.

October 23 — Syracuse, Baltimore Sta-
dium.

October 30— Florida, College Park.

November 6 — V. M. I., Lexington, Va.
(11 A. M.).

November 13— Penn State, State Col-
lege.

November 20 — Georgetown, Griffith
Stadium, Washington.

November 25 — Washington and Lee,
Baltimore Stadium (Thanksgiv-
ing).

Frosh Team Good-Cleverly Handled B ° xer * <»*> Redd *

» .Mni Ilcmii' Mi it lii'.'ii en

Maryland had the best freshman
beam in iva'iu yean and the young

Terpa completed their schedule on No-
vember 21 with four wins and one tie.

Here is the record of the yearlings,
all games being with freshman teams
of other universities:

Maryland, 6; Virginia. B,

Maryland, 12; Richmond I'.. 6.

Maryland, 21; Georgetown, 0.

Maryland, 6; Washington and 1

Maryland. 13; V. M. I.. 7.

it 40 aspirants remained out
through the entire season and while
the talent was above the average for
Maryland) it was tine coaching and
clever organization work by Al Woods.
former Old Line star, that made the
team so effective. It was a scrappy.
well-trained, sportsmanlike bunch.

Here is the way that the team start-
ed its final game against V, M. I.,
which it pulled out of the fire by scor-
ing two touchdowns in the last quarter:

Francis Beamer. left end; Robert
Brown, left tackle; Tom Finlayson,
left guard; John Boyda, center; George
Lawrence, right guard; Ralph Alba-
rino, right tackle; Paul Whedon, right
end; Johnny Carliss, quarter; Adam

Bengoechea, left half; Pershing Mon-

dorff, right half; Bill Sanders, fullback.

Johnny Jones, an outstanding back

and regular, was kept out of the last

three game by injuries.

A number o( the others offer prom-
ising Varsity material, but need more
time for development.

Tcrps Jam In Bis Meet

Maryland, along with the Fifth Reg-
iment, will sponsor a big indoor meet
in the latter's large and beautiful
armory in Baltimore on March 6.

It is expected to give main consid-
eration to the high, prep and college
athletes of this section and the South-
ern Conference and to have representa-
tion from the North also.

It has been a long time since a big
meet has been staged in these parts
and the affair should be well received.

An indoor meet is a need hereabouts,
but is something that takes a lot of
toil with little chance of breaking even
financially.

•

C Jack Hauerty. Georgetown Univer-
coach, is the latest to cast his bal-
lot for Bill Guckeyson, University
of Maryland ace, as his No. 1 all-
America backfield choice.

Hagerty, who starred as a ball
toter for Georgetown in 1924, 1
and 1026, and who played pro football
for quite a spell before returning to
his Alma Mater as head mentor, had
this to say about the Terrapin flash:

"Guckeyson is the best back I ever
have seen in college football and I've

seen quite a few. You think he's just
a runner and kicker, do you? Let
me tell you something. He's got a
great head on his football shoulders
and he'll not only outrun any back I've
seen, but he'll also outthink him. That's
why he's the best."

Draws Record Crowd

Maryland had a record crowd of
13,000 at College Park on November
21 for its game with Georgetown. In
addition to the regular stands, there
were boxes along both sides of the
field and bleachers were erected at
both the north and south ends of Byrd
Stadium. Every ticket was sold.

More than 8,000 also were on hand
for the Homecoming game with V. M.
I., on November 14. A parade of
floats, fine cheering and other features
marked this contest.

Frank DeArmey and Jim Forrester,
reserve centers are the only two Uni-
versity of Maryland gridmen who do
not take part in another varsity sport.
Many figure in three pastimes and Bill
Guckeyson has letters in football, bas-
ket-ball, track and baseball.

Maj. Hcinie Miller, head COach, and

Lyman McAboy, his assistant, are busy

with the boxers with the outlook for
another good Terp team. Right B.0U
tin' weeding-out process is going on

and more definite news on the mitt-
men will he available for the next is-
sue.

The Terps do not open their season
until January 9, when Western Mary-
land will be met.

Meets, with last year's scores, if
they met, are:

January 9 — Western Maryland, Col-
lege Park.
""January 16 — Richmond U., College

Park.
"■January 23 — North Carolina, College

Park (5%-2%).
January 30 — V. M. I., Lexington, Va.
(7-1).

February 6 — Virginia, Charlottesville
(3y 2 -4V-).
""February 13 — Rutgers, College Park
"■February 20— Catholic U., College
Park (3%-4%).
February 27 — Southern Conference
tourney.

•Double-header with Varsity basket-ball.

Another Clever Carliss

Johnny Carliss, ace back of the
freshman football team this year, is
a brother of Ernie who played for the
Terps in 1928, '29 and '30, and who was
an all-State tackle. Johnny, of course,
is from Windber, Pa., where Ernie
came from. "Snitz" Snyder, also an-
other Windber product who was a
Maryland star several years back,
cheered Johnny on as the Terp year-
lings beat V. M. I. on November 21.

Soccermen Triumph
Over Johns Hopkins

A whirlwind last four-minute attack
in which they scored three goals gave
Maryland's soccermen a 3-0 victory
over Hopkins booters in the opening
athletic feature of Homecoming day.

CI When the Terp footballers invaded
Syracuse University this fall and won
20 to many Old Liners were on hand.
Among those known to be present were
Dr. John F. Moore, '23, now resident
doctor at the U. S. Veterans Hospital,
Bath, N. Y., J. Frank Barton, '24, of
the Federal Portland Cement Company
ol Buffalo, George Hockensmith, '33,
of the Hockensmith Contracting Com-
pany of Buffalo.

Fellow Alumni :

As we begin the New Year, let us
live the spirit of our Alma Mater.

recognizing our individual reponsibil-

ity for the achievements of its aims
and its objects. By BO doing, the Al-
umni Association will lie taking an in-
tegral part in the accomplishments of
our University.

In my humble opinion, one of the
strongest factors of our association
is that it is, almost in its entirety, a
voluntary organization. We have our
class connections; we have our group
affiliations and we have our Univer-
sity, the service station, all to be main-
tained and carried on for the service
of youth. Even though we are a
State institution and concentrated with-
in the borders of our own State, we
have many alumni scattered over the
face of the earth, all giving some
thought to the University and how it
can benefit the communities of the
State.

Your officers and Alumni Board are
doing everything possible to advance
the Association throughout the coming
year; all they need is your support.

With best wishes for the New Year,
I am, Sincerely yours,

Frank Hines.'OO, President.

Dental Honors

Dr. Guy 0. Lyons, I). D. S., '15, has
sent his daughter Elnora to the Col-
lege of Home Economics and a son,
Eugene D., to the Dental School. In
this instance, as father goes so does
his son, as Eugene was president of the
Sophomore class last year and dad
was the president of his class. Eugene
brings home more honors to the family
by attaining the highest mark in the
National Board of Examiners for
Sophomore Dental students and furth-
er passed the Maryland State Board
with high honors. Not only is this a
good reflection of the Integrity of the
Lyons' family, but also on the instrUC
tion at the University Dental School.

Quirk Sisters Attend
Summer School At Munich

By Anna M UUE, Bl n
Daring the past summer it was
our good fortune, accompanied by our
mother) to tour Prance, Belgium and
Germany and attend summer-school
at the University of Munich. Our
itinerary carried us first to Paris,
which seems to be perfection in the
minds of many travelers, especially
ladies. The Parisians are a people
of nerve, energy, wit. and keenness
which makes Paris an influential city.
It was. however, the talk of many
travelers that tourists were not ac-
corded the same hospitable treatment
as in the other countries, especially
Germany.

Buys Wedding Veil
From Paris we jumped to that offi-
cial and important center — Brussels,
a city built by kings. It is a city of
great interest, with its collection of
precious things of gold and treasures
of art. The many shops and cafes
line the streets and in some instances
extend half-way across the street.
"Here." says Eleanor. "Anna Marie
(now Mrs. Warren Ty dings) bought
her wedding veil." From Brussels we
journeyed on to Cologne, the perfume
town and the most noted city on the
banks of the Rhine. Then came Heidel-
berg, the site of the oldest and most
celebrated University of Germany. It
is old and not particularly impressive,
but in its library is the best collection
in the world of ancient documents.
Following a couple more stops we ar-
rived at that world-renowned, friendly,
and good-natured city of Munich. But
who wouldn't be good-natured and hap-
py if located in that glorious Bavar-
ian mountain climate? Here we en-
tered the Summer School of the Uni-
versity of Munich, which is quite differ-
ent from the Summer School of the
University of Maryland.

Begin Classes
At Munich there were only 125 stu-
dents enrolled, but this group repre-
sented dozens of nationalities, and as
many mother tongues being spok-
en. German, however, was the com-
mon language, and even the three of us
who were the "baby" beginners da
soon found is possible to be understood,
and we went native along with the
Hungarians, the Lithuanians, and the
Finns. And everyone docs go native
there. All the boys wore the Bavar-
ian costume of leather shorts and Ty-
rolean hats, while the girls wore the

v and Ki EANOB Ql ikk
peasant "dirndl" dress. Of course,
we all had bicycles, which is the con-
ventional method of travel.

The University plans for almost
every minute of your time during the
Course. Classes finished at noon, after
which there were sight-seeing trips,
lectures by well-known men, or "sings"
wlure we all gathered to sing native
folk songs. But the week-ends were
the best. Each Friday night we had
a dance, and soon we were adept at
everything from the Viennese Waltz
to the Polish Schottische. Then the
next morning the entire enrollment of
1l'."> would pile into trains or busses
for excursions to the Bavarian Alps.
You have never been cold in your
life until you have been swimming in
an alpine lake fed by a glacial stream.
And you have never been tired until
you have tried to climb an Alpine
mountain with a tireless German, who
was brought up climbing Alps, as your
guide.

Beer Is Good

But the word "student" is a magic
word there. From the first day when
we were greeted by the mayor and
handed the keys of the city, Munich
took us in. It is a lovely city with a
small-town atmosphere, and even if you
don't like beer you will learn to like
Munich beer. It is undisputedly the
best in the w r orld. And it cannot make
you fat because you work too hard
pedalling your bicycle around.

Munich left its mark on us, but the
Quirks have left theirs' on Munich
too, I'm afraid. We corrupted the
very, very correct Oxford English of
all the little German boys with our
worst and most expressive American
Slang!

Through Germany

Following summer school, we con-
tinued on, stopping at Luzen and In-
terlaken, Switzerland; Innsbruck and
Salzburg, Austria; Brechtisgarden,
Dresden, Berlin, and Hamburg, Ger-
many. Of these, Dresden, the location
of the famous Dresden Picture Gal-
lery, a collection of which ranks fore-
il in the world, was probably the
■ .rm. Hamburg, onr point
of embarkation, is one of Germany's
oldest cities but looks very modern.
In fact, much to our surprise, mod-
ern architecture was quite noticeable
throughout our trip.

Much of the unrest which we have

Dean Rowland Honored

On December is, Dr. .1. .M. II. Row
land, dean of the Medical School, the

oldest department of the University,
was honored by associates and Alum-
ni. The day was designated as Row-
land Day, and a titling program pn
sented. In the morning Dr. Arthur
M. Shipley, professor of surgery, pre-
sided at ceremonies held in tin Pea
body Institute at which time a por
trait in oil of Dr. Rowland was pre-
sented to the University. Dr. Charles
Bagley, Jr., '04, Professor of Surgery,
made the presentation address and the
portrait was accepted in behalf of the
University by Dr. H. C. Byrd, presi-
dent.

A dinner was tendered Dr. Row-
land that evening at the Belvedere
Hotel with Dr. Walter D. Wise, '06,
professor of surgery as toastmaster.
Laudatory speeches on Dr. Rowland
were given, as: "The Dean," by Dr.
Alan M. Chesney, "The Physician,"
by Dr. Maurice C. Pincoffs, '12, "The
Citizen," by Hon. Samuel K. Dennis,
'03, Chief Judge of the Baltimore Su-
preme Bench, "The Man," by Dr.
Charles Reid Edwards, '13.

Dr. Rowland was graduated from
the Baltimore Medical College in 1890,
and was appointed as teacher in that
College in 1892. He came to the Uni-
versity of Maryland in 1913 as Profes-
sor of Obstetrics and was made Dean
of Obstetrics in 1916. He has devoted
nearly fifty years of his life to the
teaching of medicine and has for thir-
ty-six years been a specialist in ob-
stetrics, twenty -three of which have
been at the University of Maryland.

He is member of the American Medi-
cal Association, the Baltimore City and
State Medical Societies, American Col-
lege of Surgery and American Associ-
ation of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
He is medical director for the Balti-
more Life Insurance Company, a mem-
ber of the Advisory Board of Balti-
more City Hospital, and a member of
Board of County Health Department.
He was a former member of the School
Board of Baltimore City.

Dr. Rowland is a native of Mary-
land being born and raised in Cecil
Countv.

ti when we arrived in Munich and
neither were we impressed with any

Everything seemed quite peaceful.

OLD LINE ATHLETIC ACTIVITIES

By W. H. ("BILL") HOTTEL

Dame Fortune Shuns Varsity Gridmen
But Season Has Some Pleasing Angles

Maryland had a 50-50 Football season

as far as major wins and losses were

concerned, although its record stands

with six games on the right side of the
ledger and five on the wrong.

A clever St. John's of Annapolis elev-
en was beaten in the opener and then
the team went on to get an even break
in its series of 10 major contests in as
many weeks. It was a tremendous task
for a small squad, but the gridders
kept up a good spirit and stuck to
their jams to the finish. This took care-
ful handling from the standpoint of
condition and morale and the coaches
deserve credit for their work in these
phases.

It was a season — they occur now and
then — in which the Terps just weren't
on Dame Fortune's list. Had luck been
prone to smile upon Maryland, the
team might easily have won three or
four more games and all that was
needed in two that went the wrong way
was the point after touchdown in each
to have brought about ties.

In only the V. M. I. game did the
Terps really play "sad" football. They
started out "like a house afire" in that
tilt but after getting a score, went in-
to "seclusion" and permitted the alum-
ni, back in large numbers for Home-
coming, to see them at their worst for
the season. Six games away from home
preceded the contest with the Cadets
and that may easily be part of the an-
swer to their bogging down that day.

In looking over the statistics, the
fact is brought out that Maryland was
outgained in only one contest, that
with North Carolina in which the Tar-
heels scored a clean cut triumph. Vic-
tory could have been achieved very
easily in the other tilts lost. It is a diffi-
cult thing to recount the season without
being accused of offering alibis in view
of the fact that the assets for a better

COrd were in the squad, so we will
go no farther in discussing the pros
and cons of victories and defeats.

Maryland's leading triumph <>f the

"..■I b 20 to victory over Syra-

in the Salt City. The Terps v

"hot" ui! both attack ami defense that

day and played a game that would have

n any of its foes.

Maryland had probably the smallest
squad in "big league" football in the
country but it had the ablest set of
backs it ever has boasted and an array
it may never again gather on the same
outfit.

Led by Bill Guckeyson and including
Coleman Headley, Charlie Ellinger,
John Gormley, Jim Meade, Ed Daly,
Charlie Weidinger, Waverly Wheeler
and others of latent ability, the talent
for a powerful, versatile and puzzling-
attack was presented. At times the of-
fense was strong and flashy but it failed
to show the smoothness, consistency
and scoring prowess expected of it and
constantly looked for. However, in ev-
ery game the Terps were in there fight-
ing to the finish and earned individual
commendation even in defeat.

With Guckeyson, Headley, Ellinger,

Gormley and Daly of the backfield and
Vic Willis, great end, and Charlie Zu-
lick, Ed Fletcher and John Birkland,
the only three to hold down the tackle
assignments this season, to be lost, the
task of the coaches in a difficult 10-
game card next fall will be even big-
ger than it was this year.

This task was accentuated because
so few reserves were used during the

1936 campaign and consequently Mary-
land will have to jump into the 1937
season with a very limited number of
gridders who have been under fire in
actual combat.

In addition to being highly attractive
and entailing very little travel, there
is another noteworthy feature of the

1937 schedule. It will end on Thanks-
giving Day against Washington and
Lee. Maybe the 1938 card may be made
ideal by cutting it to nine contests.

These long schedules, that almost
overlap boxing and basket-ball, even
get too tough for the publicity depart-
ment.

Maryland Freshman Squad That Enjoyed A Successful Season

First row: Harold Molineu. Frank Skotnicki, Robert S.
Brown, Bill Booze, John Smith. Bob Burns, Louis Ahalt,
Bill Firmin.

S md row: Johnny Carliss. Arthur Rudy, Frank Hudak,
George Lawrence. Harold Cotterman, Adam Bengoechea,

Third row: Bill Sanders, Bill Cline, R. E. O'Farrell, Paul

Top row: Ralph Albarino, John Boyda, Pershing Mon-
dorff, Charles Parvis, Howard Beach, Charles Norton, Dan
Dowling, Bruce Davis, Kenneth Hess, William Morris.

These boys won four games and tied their other one and
will send a much greater amount of promising material to
the varsity than usually is the case. At least half of them
should survive the spring practice test. Some, of course,
will fall by the wayside for scholastic and other rea-
sons.

Basket-ball Team
Gets Early Start

Basket-ball almost stepped on the
heels of football before it could get
out of the way and while the gridders
were winding up their campaign the
Terp tossers were tuning for the only
pre-Christmas game with Richmond
at Richmond on December 17. They
lost the contest, 51 to 40, in an extra
period.

Burton Shipley needs a center and
Bill Guckeyson, who won his letter
in 1934-35 and who did not play last
year, is taking up the post. However.
he is only six feet tall and will meet
loftier men in almost every game.

ley has six letter men left from

last season in Al Waters and Waverly
Wheeler, forwards; John McCarthy,
forward or center, and Fred Thomas,
Charlie Keller and Bill Bryant, guards.

He got some good talent from last
year's frosh in George Knepley, a
real forward; Eddie Johnson, center
or forward; Robert Neilson, forward,
and Milton Mullitz, guard. George
Remsberg, a center, also will be car-
ried but he is not as far advanced as
the !■

Guckeyson, Bryant, Wheeler and
McCarthy all were with the football
squad and consequently were late in
reporting.

As the first team played before the

jrridmen joined the squad, Johnson

at center; Waters and Knepley at

forwards and Thomas and Keller at

guards. All except Johnson doubt

will be regulars, with Guckeyson tak-
ing the tap-off job from Eddie with
the latter being in reserve.

Johnson, Mullitz and Neilson should
be valuable assets to the squad this
season and be ready to step to the
front in another year.

Good Grid Leftover

Blair Smith, end; Bill Wolfe and
Mike Surgent, a fine pair of guards;
Bob Walton and Frank DeAimey,
centers; Jim Meade, Charlie Weidin-
ger, Waverly Wheeler and Hip Hewitt,
backs, are grid leftovers who should
help take the burden off the
in 1 !».'{". It would not be surprising

Silkman, '35, proprietor of the Silk-
man Florist Shop in Baltimore. Pres-
entation was made by Chester W.
Tawney, '31, president of the club,
assisted by his wife, Edith Stinnette,
'32, Miss Ann Carver, '36, Miss Merza
Tuttle, '36, and Miss Mary Stallings,
who fittingly represented the Uni-
versity's feminine pulchritude.

Dance Successful

The Football Final Dance held by
the Alumni Club that evening at the
Maryland Casualty, in honor of the
squads from Maryland and Western
Maryland, was a great success. More
than citrht hundred people attended the
dance, at which time the formal pres-
entation of the Mayor Jackson Trophy
was made to the captain of the win-
ning team — Western Maryland. In the
ncc of Mayor Howard W. Jack-
et' Baltimore, the presentation
made by bis representative, Mr-
Jack Xorris. Following the presenta-
tion the team from Western Mary-
land and their followers paraded to
the- tune of their Alma Mater amid

applause of all present.
It wat a splendid exhibition of what

collegiate spirit and sportmanship
should be.

Among the distinguished guests was
Dr. H. C. Byrd, '08, president of the
University. He was greeted by Ches-
ter W. Tawney, '31, president of the
Baltimore Aumni Club.

Shep Fields and his nationally fa-
mous orchestra of Rippling Rythm
made a big hit. George Weber, '33,
chairman of the dance committee, de-
serves a large share of the praise for
the success of the dance.

Maryland Draws Fans

The Varsity football team played
to approximately 44,000 fans in its
five home football games, the largest
crowd being at the Georgetown con-
test at College Park, when more than
12,000 looked on at a great battle.
•

Band Is Complimented

Maryland's Go-piece band came in
for many fine compliments on its ap-
pearances at the home football games
and the one with Richmond U., in
Richmond. It was declared the best
in its section and among the best
anywhere.

Major Harvey L. (Heinie) Miller,
coach of the Varsity boxing squad, in
his first year at the helm, believes he
has the makings of a successful team
if he can fill the middle, light-heavy
and heavy classes satisfactorily. He
likes his talent in the lower divisions.

Miller found seven letter men at
hand when he took charge, Ed She-
gogue and Charlie Gebhardt in the
115-pound class, Tom Birmingham,
125-pounder; Morty Schwartz, 145;
Ivan Nedomatsky, 155; Mike Lom-
bardo, who is good in either the 155 or
1G5, and John Gormley, light-heavy
and heavy.

Gebhardt has given up boxing for
the time being, at least, due to the
press of scholastic work, and Gormley
has not made up his mind whether he
will come out for the sport this sea-
son. With Shegogue on the job, Geb-
hardt can be spared but the success of
the team may hinge on Gormley's
decision.

Blair Smith, a clever scrapper who
could handle either the 165 or 175
pound assignment in good style, also
will not report until late, if at all. He
was an irregular on the squad last
year but when he fought he showed
plenty.

Birmingham, a good 125-pounder
for two years, is showing to unusual
advantage this season and should win
most, if not all, his bouts in the ensu-
ing campaign. His work has been
highly commended by Coach Miller.

Shegogue, Nedomatsky and Lom-
bardo, and Gormley if he comes out,
along with Birmingham, offer a nu-
cleus that should make it tough for
and rival team to combat. Lancelot
Jacques is showing strongly in the
105 pound class.

Ben Alperstein, 125 or 135; Bill
Yates, 155, and Ed Egnell, 212 pound
heavyweight, were the aces of the
1936 freshman team. Alperstein and
Yates have reported and are doing
clever work. Alperstein won all his
three bouts last year while Yates and
Egnell each won twice and drew once.

Maryland has a tough task in its
opening meet with Western Maryland,
as the Terrors will bring a highly for-
midable squad to College Park, Janu-
ary 9.

BRIEF HISTORY

rp HE BEGINNING of the Univer-

sity of Maryland was in 1S07 when
a charter was granted to the College
of Medicine of Maryland. A perma-
nent home, established in 1S14-15, at
Lombard and Greene Streets in Balti-
more, now is the oldest structure in
America devoted to medical teaching*.

In 1812 the General Assembly of
Maryland authorized the College of
Medicine to "Annex or Constitute
Faculties of Divinity, Law and Arts
and Sciences," these to be constituted
an university, under the title of "Uni-
-ity of Maryland." In 1813 a move
was made to establish a "faculty of
law," and in L823 a School of Law-
was opened. Subsequently, a College
of Dentistry, School of Pharmacy and
School of Nursing were added.

In 1856 an act "to establish and
endow an Agricultural College in the
te of Maryland" was passed by
the Legislature. At the time no in-
stitution of similar character existed
in the United States. Under the
charter thus granted to a party of
public-spirited private individuals the
original college building was erected
at College Park, and the doors opened
to students in the fall of 1859.

For several years it was conducted
as a private institution, but with ac-
ceptance of the terms of a grant
under the "Land Grant Act" of 1862,
and aid by the State Legislature in
1866, the college was brought under
partial control of the State.

Maryland Agricultural College was
a military school, and continued as
such until 23 years ago. Two of the
principal buildings were completely
destroyed by fire in 1912, and in 1914
control was taken over entirely by the
State. In 1916 the General Assembly
granted a new charter to the College,
making it the Maryland State Col-
lege, and placing the institution on
a par with the State colleges of
other states.

An Act of the State Legislature in
1920 brought the old University of
Maryland and the Maryland State
College together as the University of
Maryland. Since that date the devel-
opment in facilities and services ha>
been rapid.

Efficiency and Economy

TT is particularly worth noting that the Maryland Agricultural Agencies
A are coordinated under one administration. In 1916 all of Maryland's
agricultural agencies were combined under the Board of Regents of the
then Maryland State College and the State Board of Agriculture. Again
in 1920 legislation perfected the union of the University of Maryland and
the Maryland State College under the Board of Regents and State Board
of Agriculture. All laws granting powers and duties to various depart-
ments and divisions were amended and placed under the administration
of one board. Maryland's organization is unique in the country by virtue
of this coordination and the saving incident thereto.

illustration, a near-by state of about the same size as Maryland,
with two less counties, appropriates nearly $100,000 for the support of the
State Board of Agriculture alone. It then has to provide appropria'
for its University which conducts its agricultural work as a distinct entity.
In another adjoining state the appropriation to the State Hoard of Agricul-
ture alone is over .-_'.' .000. The coordination in Maryland prevents jealous-
ies among workers and agencies and duplication of work. Functioning of
these agencies in Maryland seems to be ideal for efficiency as well as econo-
my, and apparently the plan is being copied by other stati
found practicable.

HOW THE UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND
SERVES THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE

THE UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND is anxious
for the people of the State to know what it is
doing and how it is spending the money appropriated
for it. The University is nothing more nor less than a
service institution for the people of the State. As
such, it should represent the highest type of govern-
ment service, and a spirit of active interest on the
part of the whole people will enable it to serve most
efficiently the greatest number.

The buildings and facilities of the University at
College Park and in Baltimore are used to educate
your sons and daughters; to equip men and women
to serve you in such vital fields as agriculture, engi-
neering, teaching, home economics, dentistry, sci-
ence, pharmacy, law and medicine. Students come
from all parts of the State and graduates go into
every community of the State, converting their
knowledge and training into service.

Many people are prone to think of a university
as a great institution which is above, beyond and
apart from them and their daily lives. The Univer-
sity of Maryland, with its manifold services and lines
of activity, is affecting in one way or another the
lives and welfare of the vast majority of people
within the State. In addition to supplying some 700
graduates each year trained in the sciences, arts and
professions, the University, through its research and

extension facilities and personnel, is rendering serv-
ices of inestimable value to those on the farms, in

MARYLAND GRADUATES TAKE
PART IN MEDICAL CONVENTION

By Da. Frank s. Lynn, 'ot

EUtOM NOVEMBER IT to 80 the Medical and Chirurgical Pac-
ulty of Maryland and the Baltimore City Medical Society

wore hosts to the Southern Medical Association at its 80th an-
nual meeting. Before the meeting the medical profession was
keyed up to a high state of anticipation.

Committees of a general ami special nature were appointed,
giving widespread recognition to the members of the profession
in the city and State. It is needless to say that in this organi-
zation, the scientific program, the presenting of exhibits and in
the social functions incident to a meeting of this kind, the Uni-
versity of Maryland, as represented by its alumni, played an im-
portant part.

The following alumni acted as chairmen of their respective
commit t-

L<>ud Speakers

At this point it might be well to say
that all meetings and exhibits were
held in the Fifth Regiment Armory,
and we do not believe a more ideal
place could have been secured. All ex-
hibits, both scientific and commercial,
were displayed on the upper floor, while
on the lower level there were four
large rooms, two for medical and two
for surgical meetings. Besides there
were adequate meeting rooms for the
specialties with smaller memberships.

The first day of the meeting was
known as Baltimore Day, in that the
profession of the city furnished the en-
tire program. There were two general
meetings of Medicine in the morninjr
and afternoon and this was duplicated
by Surgery.

Here it might be of interest to give
a list of Alumni participating in these
Baltimore Day meetings: On Tuesday,
•mber 17, the Section A on Sur-
gery, Dr. Randolph Winslow, '73, Emer-
Professor of Surgery, was hon-
orary chairman. Those taking part in
the program were W. F. Zinn. 12: I.
M. Hundley, Professor of Gynecology;

addressed by out-of-town guests, among
whom was our alumnus, Dr. Fred W.
Rankin, '09, of Lexington, Ky.

We have thus far dealt with the de-
partments of General Medicine and

Ritchie Coliseum
Is Source Of Joy

Kxcopt that Byrd Stadium may have
grown too small and the old part of it
out-of-date and that a Bwimxning pool
would be welcomed with open arms,

Maryland is happy over its athletic
-it nation, both from a standpoint of

Facilities and the men behind the guns.

The two improvements mentioned
doubtless will come in due time, but
the BOOner they materialize the better
some folk would be pleased.

One great athletic blessing on the
campus is Ritchie Coliseum which has
proved worth its weight in gold for
many purposes since it was dedicated
live years ago, January 20, 1932, to be
exact.

It not only has been a joy in staging
.Maryland's basket-ball games and box-
ing matches and for dressing rooms
for the various teams, but it has been
used for many of the bigger affairs on
the campus, the most pretentious, of
course, being the annual commence-
ment exercises.

It will house the Southern Confer-
ence boxing championships this year,
to which the University will be host
on February 26 and 27, and in so many
ways has added to the comfort and
prestige of the institution.

Only the other night the famous
Ellsworth Vines-Fred Perry profes-
sional tennis troupe used the Coliseum,
as no place as desirable could be found
in Nation's Capital.

County and State clubs and organi-
zations also use the Coliseum at va-
rious times for their fetes and its utili-
tarian value constantly comes in for
praise. It has been the means of in-
troducing many persons to the Mary-
land campus and in every way has been
a friend-maker for the University.

Basketers, Boxers
Are Going Strong

Maryland's varsity boxing and bas-
ket-ball teams were speeding along at
a good pace when this was written.
The Terp boxers had won all three of
their meets, beating Western Mary-
land, to 2; Richmond U., 8 to 0, and
North Carolina, 5 to 3, despite it had
three of its best men out in the match
with the strong Tarheels.

The basketers, handicapped by the
lack of an experienced center of the
proper altitude and the loss through
injury of Charlie Keller, one of their

. had captured live of the first eight
games, showing plenty of speed and
spirit.

Eddie Johnson, son of the famous

Walter, is developing rapidly at center
and when Keller gets back, the Terps
lUld rate among the best in the Con-
ference. In fact, they are tOUgh to
lick even with him out.

Included in Maryland's basket-ball
triumphs were decisive wins over Johns
Hopkins, VY. ;. rn Maryland and Wash-
ington College.

Coach Is Officer

i.y.man Randolph iuahov

Former Maryland ring star and now
tutor of the Terp yearlings recently
was appointed a second lieutenant in
the Marine Corps Reserve in Washing-
ton. He has been assigned as athletic
officer of the 5th Battalion, Fleet Ma-
rine Corps Reserve. He also will be as-
sistant to the plans and training offi-
cer. The 5th Battalion is commanded
by Maj. Harvey L. (Heinie), Mary-
land's varsity ring coach.

Frosh Quint Shining

Al Heagy has his Terp freshman
basket-ball team traveling at a fast
clip, easily walking off with the first
four tilts, among them a 39-29 triumph
over the strong George Washington
yearlings.

His leading players are Charlie Nor-
ton, Ogden, Utah; John Snow and Bill
Kolius, Washington; Pershing Mon-
dorff, Emmitsburg; Joe Kelly, Cumber-
land, Tillman Scott, Mount Ranier, and
Leo Muller, Baltimore.

"All-U" Night Again
Will Be Colorful

February 13 — Saturday — which will
be All-University night this year,
promises to provide another one of
those gala occasions that have met
with so much favor in the past few
years and which have packed Ritchie
Coliseum.

V. M. I. in basket-ball and Rutgers
in boxing will provide the big sport
events of the evening, with the court
tilt opening the program at 7.30 and
the ring match being the finale.

In between the various extra-curricu-
la activities of the University again will
be represented, but this year it is plan-
ned to make this part of the colorful
program somewhat shorter and snap-
pier.

Keller Student First

That students play Maryland's ath-
letics had an illustration when Charlie
Keller, ace basket-ball guard, was in-
jured in the Duke game on January
16. He severely sprained his right
wrist and will lose close to a month
with the squad. While waiting for an
X-ray picture of his arm to be devel-
oped and to determine whether his
wrist was broken, which it appeared
to be, Keller, who has a big-league
baseball career in prospect that might
have been ruined in event of a bad
fracture, turned to Jack Faber, assis-
tant Maryland coach, and said:

"Jack, do you think my professors
will let me take oral examinations in
case I am unable to write? I've got
a good chance to get some A's and I'd
hate to miss 'em." He was thinking
of the mid-year exams which were just
about to start.

Young Terps Box Well

Although they lost their first meet
to Staunton M. A., the Terp yearling
boxers are being developed from the
"raw" in good fashion by Lyman Mc-
Aboy, and by the end of the year he
will turn some good talent over to the
1938 Varsity.

Maryland Graduates Take Part In Medical Convention

torical value. This exhibit was pre-
sented by our Gynecological Depart-
ment and consisted of 40 specimens of
papier mache which w-ere used 100
years ago in teaching this subject in
our medical school.

And the variety of the program of
this meeting continues in the form of
motion pictures depicting the technique
in various specialties. Those contrib-
uting to this part of the program were
Edward A. Looper, '12; Cyrus F. Hor-
ine, '19; J. M. Hundley, Jr.. Grant E.
Ward. One can see from the foregoing

that those four days of November, IT

to 2(1. were indeed busy ones for guests
and hosts. But in spite of that, time
was taken out for diversion. Frater-

nity luncheons, alumni banquets, golf
and trap-shooting.

On Thursday night of the meeting
there was a great outpouring of alum-
ni at the University of Maryland ban-
quet. There were no formal speeches,
but we could not let the opportunity
pass without calling on our President,
Dr. H. C. Byrd, who extended a cordial
welcome to all alumni. The week was
a great homecoming for our graduates
from the south, both old and young.
Many had not been back for years and
very few of them had seen the many
changes which have taken place on old
Greene Street, not the least of which
is the new hospital. There were smiles
on the faces and pride in the hearts of
all these graduates when they beheld
this beautiful building.

Service" editor, goes the credit for
compiling the comprehensive infor-
mation about "The University of
Maryland and How it Serves the Peo-
ple of the State" in the January issue
of the "News." Many laudatory com-
ments have been received about the
enlightening information contained in

Romance Ends

Albert Jackson Roberts, '33, former
vice-president of his class, died of
pneumonia January 1. Jack was en-
gaged to Miss Rose Elmo of Hyatts-
ville.

The day he died was to have been
the date of their wedding, which had
been twice before delayed because of
deaths in the family. It was the
tragic end of a romance which began
in high school days.

Able Jurist Succumbs

Judge John Boyd Sears, '90, judge
of the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit of
Virginia, lawyer, jurist and beloved
citizen, died suddenly at "Kalamazoo,"
home of his sister, Mrs. M. B. Garnett,
near Mathews, Va., where he had re-
sided for a good many years.

Judge Sears was educated at priv-
ate schools in Mathews and the Uni-
versity of Maryland, at Baltimore,
Maryland, and studied law at the Uni-
versity of Virginia, of which he was
a graduate. After his graduation
he took up the practice of law in
Mathews and adjoining counties, and
soon became one of the outstanding
lawyers of the circuit because of his
ability as an advocate and well-ground-
ed knowledge of the law.

State Senator

In the State Senate of Virginia
where he served two terms, Judge
Sears soon came to be a distinguished
figure, his ability as a debater and his
quick grasp of the problems which con-
fronted that body bringing to him the
admiration and respect of its mem-
bers.

Anniversary Banquet
A Brilliant Success

On February 11, more than 1,100
alumni, faculty aiul friends of the
University gathered for the 130th an-
niversary banquet at the Lord Balti-
more Hotel in Baltimore, to commemo-
rate the founding of our University.
It was an unusually pretentious and
impressive affair which emphasized
the harmonious and coordinating spir-
iting between all branches of the
I'niversity.

His Excellency Harry YV. Nice, '98,
ernor of Maryland was the guest
of honor. The Governor spoke favora-
bly for the University and about the
important place it occupies in the
State. Hon. Millard E. Tydings, '10,
United States Senator, was toastmas-
ter. In his introductory remarks Sen-
ator Tydings gave a brief resume of
the early development of the institu-
tion and the splendid service it has
rendered the State.

Welcoming remarks were extended
by Dr. H. C. Bryd, '08, president of
the University after which he intro-
duced the guests of the occasion. Lt.
Colonel L. McD. Silvester, '11, general
chairman of the banquet committee
opened the program and the Rev. R.
W. Schmitt, S. J., of Baltimore gave
the invocation.

Guest speaker for the occasion was
Dr. Lotus D. Coffman, president of
the University of Minnesota, one who
is recognized as an authority on the
educational development of the land
grant institution of the states. His
subject was "The place of the State
University in the National and State
scheme of Education." His talk was
instructive and enlightening, as well
as a timely one, as the University's
program for the advancement of edu-
cation was before the Legislature.

Glee Club Entertained

Following the address entertainment
was presented by the University Glee
Club, under the direction of Harlan
Randall, professor of music.

Many people prominent in the affairs
of the State and leaders of the various
affiliated organizations interested in
the progress and services of our state
University were present. Among them
we had, Hon. George L. Radcliffe, U.
S. Senator and a Maryland Alumnus,
Hon. Lansdale G. Sasscer, President
of the State Senate also an alumnus,

tion become an annual affair which
received unanimous accord.

Thomas Humphreys Spence Succumb

|\EAN THOMAS HUMPHREYS
*~* SPENCE, who died at his home at
College Park, Md., on Friday, Febru-
ary 12, was a native of Snow Hill,
county seat of Worcester County, Md.,
a fact which largely influenced his
character and personality. He was an
exemplification of the old Roman max-
im "Coelum iioii animum mutant, qiu
trims mare cwrrent," which with slight
local adaptation, might be rendered,
"They change their clime, but not their
hearts who cross the Chesapeake Bay."

He was the only son of Irving
Spence of Snow Hill and Virginia Hum-

Thomas Humphreys Spence

phreys of Salisbury. This connection
with two of the most widely known
and highly esteemed families on "The
Shore," coupled with his residence at
the county seat, brought him into con-
tact with many people in every walk
of life and stimulated an innate fac-
ulty, possessed by him to an eminent
degree, that of making intimacies and
lasting friendships, "Bound to him with
hooks of steel," which endured through
life and embraced many of the most
prominent men in the state.

Having graduated from the local
schools, Professor Spence completed
his education at Maupin's University
School at Ellicott City, and later at
the Johns Hopkins University.

Returning to his home county he
was appointed principal of the Junior
High School at Stockton and later
principal of the Snow Hill High School,
which position he resigned to become

Professor of Languages at the Mary-
land Agricultural College.

Professor Spence came to the college
in 1892, when it was reorganized with
Dr. Richard W. Silvester as its head.
He was then in the prime of his physi-
cal and mental powers, with an as-
sured character and personality that
soon made him influential in all col-
lege activities.

A disciplinarian in his class room
he mingled easily and freely with the
students on the outside and took an
active part with them in their field
sports. He was greatly interested in
athletics and did much to further their
development on the campus.

In the faculty councils the opinions
of Professor Spence carried influence
and weight. He brought to the college
experience as an educator and in the
management of youth and in his long
years of service he devoted all of his
abilities to the upbuilding of the In-
stitution with which he had associated
himself and to the mental, physical
and moral development of those who
had been entrusted to its care. He was
an educator, he was a disciplinarian,
he was an administrator, but he was
sympathetic, he was human, and every
student on the campus knew and felt
that from Professor Spence he could
always have a fair and open minded
hearing and an impartial judgment
and in him, if the facts warranted, an
earnest advocate.

The executive ability of Professor
Spence was recognized by the Board
of Trustees in 1912 when, on the re-
tirement of President Silvester, he was
made acting president of the College,
which position he held until 1913, when
Dr. H. J. Patterson was made presi-
dent. Professor Spence was made Dean
Emeritus of the College of Arts and
Sciences in 1924, continuing, however,
to give active service as professor of
ancient languages.

In his domestic life Professor Spence
was singularly happy. In 1899 he was
married to Miss Charlotte Calvert,
daughter of Hon. Chas. B. Calvert of
"MacAlpine," Prince George's County.
Their union was blessed with three
charming daughters, Virginia, Char-
lotte and Mary who are now Mrs. Vir-
ginia Irving Spence Lescure of Har-
risburg, Pa., Mrs. Charlotte Calvert
Spence Wilton of Charlotte, N. C, and
Mrs. Mary Spence Montgomery of Col-
lege Park, Md. Each attended the

Origin of Nickname, Old Liners

Dates Way Back To Revolution

Bj HERB ALLISON, 15.

QO you thought Maryland was called

^ the Old Line school just because

her students were more or less adept
lisseminating that sort of conver-

n. did you !

You may be partially right, that is
concerning the finesse of the Maryland
undertrrad a: shooting the "same old
line." but that has practically nothing
to do with the nickname of the insti-
tution, which has a history many years
older than the University itself.

University of Maryland, of course.
borrowed the name from the State,
and. as for how the State of Mary-
land became known as The Old Line
3 e — thereby hangs the following
tale.

Of the many theories which have
be^-n advanced, the two most plaus-
ible are widely divergent in origin.
The explanation which is generally
accepted today, however, is the one
emanating from the New York cam-
paigns in the War of the Revolution.

According to the story, the Con-
tinental troops were drawn up across
Long Island facing south, with a sim-
ilar array of the British directly op-
posite. The Maryland troops held the
center position of the American lines.
During the course of the battle, the
Continental troops flanking the Mary-
landers began to give way under the
heavy pressure of the British attack,
but Maryland held her ground. The
line of battle thus became bow-shaped,
with the Oystermen at the most ad-
vanced portion of the arc. The Ameri-
can commanding officers thus began to
refer to the lines of battle as "the old
line." and "the new line."

But the British advantage was brief
and after a few hours the tide of the
battle turned in favor of the Yankees,
| ired no doubt by the tenacity of
the boys from Baltimore. Upon seeing
the lines of battle begin to straighten
out to their original position again,
Colonel Smallwood, commanding a
Maryland regiment cried out "See!
The old line holds!" It was one of
the most heroic deeds of the Revolu-
tionary War.

From thenceforward, the Maryland

soldiers were known as "The Old Line"

and upheld their glorious

record throughout the rest of the war.

The other story which is told of the
origin of the name "Old Line" is about

the tierce skirmishes between the

Marylanders and the Pennsylvanians

over the then indefinite boundary be-
tween the States. It seems that two
lines were held to be the proper bound-
ary, the original one, known as "The
Old Line," being the one most favor-
able to Maryland. The Maryland citi-
zens, of course, defended this border,
while the Pennsylvanians fought for
the newer line, which would give them
more land. It is said that the Mary-
landers held so strenuously to the "Old
Line" that they earned Maryland its
name as "The Old Line State."

Finally, when Mason and Dixon sur-
veyed the boundary, completing it in
17t'>7, the long bitter quarreling came
to an end, and the Mason and Dixon
line became even more famous than
the "Old Line."

The first of the two theories is held
to be the most authentic, however, by
the best authorities, so when next you
receive your copy of The Old Line, or
see Terp athletes in action on the field
of conflict, remember it's the Battle of
Long Island — not Great Neck.

Turkey Case

Robert McCandlish, Jr., '30, son of
Robert McCandlish, '99, is an ardent
student of the law. After graduating,
he began the study of law at George
Washington University and lived with
his uncle, a practicing lawyer in Fair-
fax County, Virginia.

Bob now is practicing in the same
town. One of his first cases was of
considerable interest. It seems he
was defending a man accused of steal-
ing turkeys and, although Bob felt
his client was guilty of making off
with the fowl, he was successful in his
defense and the man was allowed to
go Scott free. Ever since then the
young barrister's uncle has teasingly
asked Bob whether he got a turkey
as a fee. To all of this, Mr. McCandlish
merely shrugs his shoulders and laughs,
because the man has moved away and
should he repeat his performance, at
least he will be in some one <
district.

Ring Team Shines Under New Coach

Major Barvey K. Miller, Beinie to
his friends, has a mighty good right

(and left too it" you want to throw in
another punch) to be proud of his
first season as nu-ntor of the .Maryland
boxing team thai be piloted to an un-
beaten record in seven dual meets.

Gaining six victories and one tie,
that included triumphs over Virginia,
North Carolina and Western Maryland,
the Terp boxers registered 41% wins
against 14' ■> defeats in the 56 individ-
ual matches.

The Terps beat Western Maryland,
6 to '-; Richmond, 8 to 0; North Caro-
lina, 5 to 3; V. M. I., 7 to 1 ; Virginia,
5 to 3; Rutgers, 6% to l 1 -, and "suf-
fered* - a tie with Catholic U. But for a
decision (and many of the old grads
were on hand) that was booed for 10
minutes that cost Mike Lombardo a
win, it would have been seven straight.

Ed Shegogue, 115 pounder; Tom
Birmingham, 125; Benny Alperstein,
LS5; Ivan Nedomatsky, 145; Mike
Lombardo, 155; Lancelot Jacques and
Bob Walton, 165; John Gormley, 175,
and Alex Males, who fought 165 and
1 75, were the big guns of the team.
Ed Egnell, soph heavy, was doing well

forfeits followed in that

Three Set Fast Race

Birmingham, with six wins and a
draw; Alperstein with seven straight
triumphs, and Nedomatsky, who scored
six times and got a forfeit, were the
only boys to weatber the campaign
without defeat, but all the other regu-
lars did remarkably well as did some
of the pinch hitters, notably George
Dorr, red-headed 115-pounder mitt-
man.

Miller will have a task on his hands
next year, though, as he is going to be
hard hit by graduation. Those in the
senior class are: Shegogue, Birming-
ham, Nedomatsky, Lombardo, Jacques
and Gormley.

Dorr, Alperstein, Walton, Males and
Egnell will provide the nucleus of the
1938 combination and this is not such
a bad start. Both Shegogue and
Jacques have another year of boxing
should they decide to return and do
some advanced work. However, there
is no indication that they will.

When this was written, the boys
were putting on their final tuning up
for the Southern Conference tourney,
that was staged in Ritchie Coliseum
for the first time in the 11 years of the
affair.

Riflemen Score
Impressive Wins

Maryland riflist continue to score
impressive wins in postal matches.
Among those to bow recently to the
Marylander's were Hopkins, Gettys-
burg and Mississippi State. The
Maryland team has maintained its
splendid record under the coaching of
Major Frank Ward and captained by
Will .Jensen.

The schedule will he concluded by
the Navy shoulder-to-shoulder-match

and the Intercollegiate Tournament.

At the present time the Terps are
firing a tournament of their own. The

Terp Ring Squad
Wins Loop Title

W r ith Tom Birmingham and Ivan
Nedomatsky winning titles in the 125
and 145 pound divisions, Maryland won
the Southern Conference boxing cham-
pionship in the tourney held in Ritchie
Coliseum February 26 and 27. The
Terps got 19 points to Duke's 16 for
second place.

Ben Alperstein, 135, John Gormley,
17."). and Alex Males, heavy, added the
other points by being runner-ups.

None of the other teams were close
to the leaders. Nedomatsky turned
the tide to Maryland when be gave
Duke's favored Danny Farrar, nation-
al college champion, a good beating.
This bout was the highlight of the
tournament.

Basketers Thrill
Although "In Red"

Maryland's basket-ball team wound
up its regular campaign in whirlwind
fashion on February 24, when it staged
a sensational rally to conquer the
North Carolina State quint, 41 to 35,
after trailing 6 to 18 at intermission.

It was the finest comeback by any
team he ever had coached, Burton
Shipley said after the contest. Thir-
ty-five points in 20 minutes is some
basket-ball.

Despite the fact, however, that the
Terps finished so flashily, the quint
for only the fourth time in the 14
years of Shipley's coaching wound up
on the wrong side of the ledger, win-
ning 8 games and losing 11. Shipley,
though, still has an average of 65 per
cent wins at Maryland against strong
opposition each season, and few men-
tors can boast such success.

Maryland figm-ed in some great bat-
tles it didn't win. Duke won both of
the tilts with the Terps, once by 4
points and again by 3; North Carolina
State took the first game in overtime,
and Washington and Lee's great outfit
scored by 41-35 in the best game of
the year at College Park, except the
closer with the W T olfpack.

Problem At Center

Lack of a center who could get the
tap-off to any great extent and grab
the rebounds off the backboard was the
telling factor in holding the Terps
back. Otherwise the assets were on
hand for a fine team. Fundamentally
no team to appear at College Park
displayed better basket-ball.

Al Waters, Charlie Keller, Ben Al-
len and Bill Guckeyson are the only
seniors on the team, and the last
named may return to school next year,
and he is eligible for basket-ball if he
does.

Waverly Wheeler, Bill Bryant and
John McCarthy are the juniors on the
squad, while George Knepley, Eddie
Johnson and George Millitz were the
sophs. All of the rookies played weli
this season and promise to be aces
next year.

Shipley will also get a needed center
in Charlie Norton, a tall rugged boy,
and some other talent worth while
from the 1937 fresh.

et-hall team to an undefeated season,
winning 12 games, most of them by
impressive margins. A two-point vie-
tory over the Georgetown Freshmen
was the hiurh light of the campaign,
the winning basket being shot in the
last 80 seconds of play.

heavyweight, were the best of the
rookies. These and several others
should be a help to the varsity next
year. Askins and Coleman probably
are the leading prospects.

Spring sports and grid practice now
are populating the fields at College
Park. Frank Dobson is putting the
soph gridders through daily sessions
that will last until early in April;
Jack Faber and Al Heagy have tr.c
lacrosse aspirants doing their stui* - ,
Burton Shipley is baseball minded, and
Geary Eppley, turning from the in-
door to the outdoor season, is continu-
ing in a larger way activities that be-
gan on the board before Christmas.

Dobson is getting a line on his re-
cruits for next fall, but the others are
preparing for real business that is
near at hand. Ship, Faber and Ep all
should have pretty good teams, with
the defense being the main problem in
lacrosse, pitching the usual tas!: in
baseball and some worries in both
the field and running events in track.
However, all should be capable of
providing tasty performances for the
old grads and students.

boold also be mentioned — and in
a big way — that Les Bopst is busy as
a bee with tennis. Early workout .
of course, were on the floor in Ritchi-
Coliseum. The outlook is for a pretty-
good varsity team and a freshman
aggregation that will make the pr
pects rosy for the future.

Historical Sketch Of Law Schoo

The General Assembly of .Maryland

in 1812, authorized the College of

Medicine of Maryland, founded in i v

"to constitute, appoint and annex to
itself three other colleges or faculties,
viz., the Faculty of Divinity, the Pac
ulty of Law, and the Faculty of Art-
and Science-," and declared that "the

four colleges or faculties thus united
should be constituted an university
by the name and under the title of the
University of Maryland." In pursu-
ance of this authority the University
was organised in 1813, being one of
the oldest chartered universities in
America, coming eighth, according to
official figures.

While the fust faculty of law was
chosen in 1813, and David Hoffman
was elected professor of law, and
published in 1817 "A Course of Legal
Study Addressed to Students and the
Profession Generally." which Justice
Story in an article in the North Ameri-
can /.'■ ri, ,<■ pronounced to be "by far
the most perfect system for the study of
law which has ever been offered to the
public," and which recommended a
course of study so comprehensive as to
require for its completion six or seven
years, no regular school of instruction
in law was opened until 1823. This
was suspended in 1836 for lack of
proper pecuniary support and on ac-
count of the small number of students

who were able or willing to spend the

time necessary, when admission to the
liar was of little difficulty, to take ad

vantage of the course of Professor
Hoffman, whoso ideals of legal educa

tion were far in advance of his times.

In 1869 the Law School was reorgan-
ised, and in lsTo regular instruction

therein was begun. From time to time
the COUrse has been made more compre-
hensive and the Board of Instructors
increased in number. Its graduates
now number more than three thou-
sand, and included among them are a

large proportion of the leaders of the

bench and bar in the State, and many
who have attained prominence in the
profession elsewhere.

Two other Law Schools, the Balti-
more Law School and the Baltimore
University of Law, were organized
under charters granted by the State
of Maryland. These two schools, both
doing good work and steadily advanc-
ing their standards, were consolidated
under the name of the Baltimore Law
School in 1911. In 1913 the Baltimore
Law School was in turn merged into
the Law School of the University of
Maryland. On July 1, 1920, the Uni-
versity of Maryland and the Maryland
State College were consolidated under
the name of the University of Mary-
land.

Terps To Help
Stage Big Meet

Maryland will be the joint sponsor
with the Fifth Regiment of Baltimore
of an indoor meet in the latter's spaci-
ous armory in Baltimore on the night
of March 6. It will be the first big
indoor affair held in this section in
years.

Two events will be featured, the
"Governor's Mile and the Oriole 660."
Governor Harry Nice has donated the
mile trophy and Mayor Howard Jack-
son of Baltimore has given the 660
prize.

Besides these two classics, there will
be twenty-five additional attractions in
which will be entered trackmen from
the ranks of nearby high and prep
schools, Yale, Navy, Georgetown, Cath-
olic U., members of the Southern Con-
ference, and nationally known stars.

The track, is one of the largi
the Ea>t, being eight laps to the mile.

ROSSBURG INN

Landmark Of Early
Maryland History

(Picture on Cover.)

Thinking of the Rossburg Inn as a
famous breakfasting place where many
Kay stage coach parties from Haiti-
more and Washington spent their eve-
nings, we visualize quaint old "Uncle
Xed," the white-haired darkey, with
his famous "dancin' riddle" and the
dancers bowing and curtesying dainti-
ly to the low, sweet strains of a
minuet.

Quainter still was the founding of
this famous old Inn. Even the bricks
have a history of their own, as it is
thought they were brought from En-
gland as a ballast for ships docking in
Bladensburg, which at that time was
a great shipping center.

1798

The keystone over the door of the
Rossburg Inn has on it the name "T.
Coe London," the date 1798, and also
a figure which represents Silenus,
teacher and trainer of Bacchus the
God of wine. This is most appropri-
ate, perhaps, for an inn because Si-
lenus quite frequently over-indulged
in wine.

The building originally had a colo-
nial gabled roof, which was changed in
1888 to a mansard roof. At the same
time the front porch was built. The
upstairs floor, the stairway, the rail-
ing and the archway en the first floor
are all the originals.

In the days when it was used a
inn the front room on the left, which
is now a laboratory, was the main
reception room. The back room on
the left was the barroom, which hail
a private stair going down to the
wine cellar. There were also frame
additions on the ninth and south Bides
of the building which were used for
guests. These were torn down tome

years ago.

According to tradition the fust
change of horses was made at the
Rossburg Inn on the road to Balti-

More Students Gain
Scholastic Honors

Forty-three more students received
3.5 or better averages during the first
semester of the current school year

registrar.

Of the total of 108, thirty-nine were
students in the College of Arts and
Sciences, 26 in the College of Educa-
tion, 18 in the Engineering College,

held at the Hagerstown High School.

Coed Fencers

Blades dashing, hair flying, and fem-
inine pulchritude lunging all over the
Field House. That was the scene at a
coed fencing session.

Every Wednesday ami Friday sonic
thirty coeds gather at the Woman's
Field House, where they are instructed

in the various phases of toiling. The
other weapons, saber and epee, are a
bit too rough for the lassies according
to their coaches, who, by the way. arc
the same two boys who also direct the
men's fencing team.

But to get back to the girls. Some of
the coeds have progressed far enough
in the sport to begin actual dueling
( its really called fencing, but the fem-
inine mind, always romantic, prefers
to think of the stab and jab sport in
that light). They put on quite an ex-
hibition. One girl in particular, hol-
lered every time she was touched. Once
her opponent faked a lunge, and the
first fencer automatically let go an ex-
pressive "OUCH!"

The other coeds, not yet good enough
to engage in actual competition, put
on a different show. It consisted of
lunging, retreating, advancing, and
lunging again, and then repeating the
whole exercise about fifteen times.
That was about too much for the gals,
though, and they had to take a long
rest after that.

The coeds are prepping hard for
their expected meet, next month, with
the Goucher "Musketeerettes," and are
rounding into fine form. Yes, their
collective forms were very good. But
their faces weren't bad either.

more, Philadelphia and points north

from Alexandria and Georgetown.

Tradition also states that George
Washington once stopped there, but

this is very improbable as no record

has ever been found to prove it. It
is a known tact, however, that General
Lafayette, on his last visit to Ameri-
ca, stopped overnight at the Rossburg
Inn.

Old Negroes used to tell of being
afraid to pass the Inn at night for
they thought is was haunted. They
said that many a time they had passed
late at night and seen the place all
lit up and had seen beautiful bewigged
ladies and handsome bewigged gentle-
men — dancing.

Experiment Station
The Inn was used as such until
several years before the property was
appropriated for the Maryland Agri-
cultural College in 185G. For a while
after that it was allowed to deterior-
ate. At this time a man named Grab-
oskii, who was at the head of the mili-
tary and agricultural departments had
it for his home. It was he who re-
paired the Inn and planted the row
of maples along the edge of the drive
at the back of the house. History
states that a detachment of the famous
Confederate Army of Jubal Early
camped around the Rossburg Inn for
the purpose of cutting off re-enforce-
ments of the Union Army arriving
from Baltimore and North, when an
attack was being made on Washington.

Oldest Building

The Inn was the mecca for the
sport lovers of the early days. Many
tales are told about the start and the
ending of the traditional fox hunts
which took place in this section.

It is the oldest of all buildings of
the University and in fact is among
the oldest in this section of the State
which is standing today. As a shrine
to the history of the colonial days
this old building should be preserved
and maintained as a faculty club and
the headquarters for Alumni. More
tradition can be found around this
old building than any other spot on
the campus.

Dr. Randolph Winslow Leaves Enviable Record

Dr. Randolph Winslow, Professor
Emeritus of Surgery of the Univer-
sity of Maryland) School of Medicine
and one of its oldest alumni, died
February 27, L987.

A descendant of the distinguished
FitzRandolph family, and of Edward
Winslow, Governor of Plymouth Colo-
ny and a Mayflower pioneer. Dr. Win-
slow was horn in Hertford, North
Carolina on October 23, 1852. Here
he spent his boyhood and took a lively
interest in the cause of the Confeder-
acy. At the end of the Civil War, he
came to Baltimore and entered Rugby
Academy in 1865, and attended two
years. He then went to Haverford
College where he graduated with the
degree of Bachelor of Arts in 1871.
After this he studied medicine at the
University of Maryland and received
his degree as Doctor of Medicine in
1873. Then followed postgraduate work
at the University of Pennsylvania and
in Philadelphia hospitals and a course
in clinical microscopy under the late
Dr. Joseph Richardson. In 1874 he
was given his degree of Master of
Arts by Haverford, following exam-
ination after special study in advanced
Greek.

Returns to Alma Mater

Returning to Baltimore, he became
associated with his Alma Mater as
prosector to the professor of anato-
my, Dr. Francis T. Miles, and in the
next year was associated with Dr. J.
Edwin Michael as assistant demon-
stator of anatomy. This position he
held for six years and there was
thus inaugurated a devoted service
to the University which was main-
tained without interval for the re-
mainder of his life.

From 1880 to 1886 he was demon-
stator of anatomy and until 1891, lec-
turer on clinical surgery. He succeed-
ed Dr. Michael as professor of anatomy
in 1891, and thereby became a member
of the Faculty. In 1902, on the resig-
nation of Dr. Tiffany, Dr. Winslow
became professor of surgery and oc-
cupied this chair until he was ap-
pointed Professor Emeritus of Surgery
in 1921.

Studied in Europe

Dr. Winslow traveled widely. In
1883 be -pent a half-year in Europe,
for the most part in the University
and clinics of Vienna. Here he took
courses of instruction from men after-
wards famous. Lorenz, Woelfler and
von Hacker. From the Billroth Clinic
he brought back latest methods of

Doctor Winslow Dean Rowland

(At 130th Anniversary Banquet)

surgical technique and samples of ap-
pliances in use there and made early
attempts in Baltimore toward the
introduction of surgical antisepsis.
Because of his enthusiastic interest in
the advancement of medical education,
he attended many of the national and
international medical congresses.

The call for a conference of the
medical schools of this country was
issued by the schools that now form
the medical department of the Uni-
versity of Maryland, and resulted in
the formation of the Association of
American Medical College. Dr. Win-
slow was a valued member of the
Executive Council of this Association,
and his service in this connection
deserves the highest praise. He stead-
fastly stood for every reasonable pi'og-
ress. He believed in real scholarship
and was steadfast foe to sham and
pretense of every sort. No half-way
measures contented him and he was
no disciple of expediency.

President Medical Society
He was vice-president of the Medi-
cal and Chirurgical Faculty of Mary-
land in 1897 and its president in 1914.
He was a Fellow of the American
Surgical Association, of the Southern
Surgical and Gynecological Associa-
tion and of the American College of
Surgeons. He was for many years

a member of the Judicial Council of
the American Medical Association and
arranged to take part in the annual
meeting of this organization wher-
ever it was held.

At the age of twenty-five, he married
Miss Rebecca Fayssoux Leiper of Del-
aware County, Pennsylvania, and of
this very fortunate union there were
13 children, of whom 12 survive. Sev-
eral are graduates of the University.

As a teacher, his chief concern was
to give faithful, competent instruc-
tion and he required of the student
genuine application and diligent work.
His interest in the University con-
tinued unabated and he visited the
school regularly until about ten days
before his death.

Rushing Rules Change

In a complete revision of the ex-
isting Greek rush system, the Inter-
fraternity Council last week an-
nounced through President Dale Pat-
tei'son the adoption of a plan which
will govern 1937 rushing.

Briefly, the newly revised system
consists of a three week rushing peri-
od to begin the first day of classes next
semester. Official pledge day will fol-
low immediately after the three week
interval.

OUR LIBRARY HISTORY

Eft Mrs. Gra< i B u;\ M, A.

In the early years of the I870's,
a reading room in the old colb -
buihiinjr seemed to have boon the
first harbinger of a library on the

campus. In this room general agri-
cultural periodicals and newspapers of
the State were available. Several

- later the College Library, as his-
tory state-, contained several hundred
books, the Mercer Literary Society
approximately 1,500 and the private
libraries of professors as many more,
all of which were accessible to the
students ■'under proper conditions."

What wo now call the "Old Library
Building:." which was built in l v
housed the library on the second Boot
anil the gymnasium on the first floor.

lit for the organization of the
library in the new building was given
student, Richard R. Pue. '94, and
said to be "slowly assuming its prop-
er place as one of the most impor-
tant departments of the institution."

First Library Committee
An outstanding date is October 22.
1901, when the first Library Commit-
tee met and organized. Dr. H. B.
McDonnell, chairman, called the meet-
ing to order. Prof. F. B. Bomberger,
was elected secretary. Professor
Bomberger, who occupied the Chair of
English and Civics, was especially
active, and in March 1905, he was
given the title of Librarian. About
that time the library was put in much
better condition for reading purposes,
and soon after the books were classi-
fied according to the Dewey Decimal
System.

In 1915 the Experiment Station and
the College libraries were merged and
the combined libraries contained about
15,000 books and pamphlets.

Important Changes
The building was renovated and re-
furnished in November, 1918, and the
recataloguing of the books was begun,
Library Extension Loans were inau-
gurated, a course in Library Methods,
to teach the use of the catalogue and
reference books, was made a part of
the curriculum of the school of Liberal
Arts, the Librarian, Miss Miltana
Rowe, teaching the course.

ned her position in
1928 and was succeeded by Miss Grace
Barnes, "85, M. A., the present Libra-
rian.

In 1925 the interior of the library
altered to permit of closing the

book stacks ami installing a regular
charging system to prevent loss. The
library was made a depository for
government documents in L925, The
greatest development in the library
history was the new building, first
occupied in April 1931, and an in-
crease in the regular staff from two
to six. more student assistants, and
additional funds for books. Volumes
on the campus now number over 60,-
000. As many as 1,500 visits are
made to the reading room during a
12-hour day. Last year 65,557 vol-
umes were loaned, 5,023 volumes were
catalogued and 308 students took
Library Methods as a part of their
courses.

The library has been favored with
many gifts including pictures, statu-
ary, books and furniture given by
classes, estates and individuals. Some

OLD LINE ATHLETIC ACTIVITIES

By \\. H. ("BILL") HOTTEL

Difficult Schedules
Test Spring Teams

.Maryland's spring sports teams are
al)out to plunge into a campaign that
will Beverely teat their mettle, with the
outlook that they will not be able to
match the great record made last year.

The lacrosse ten, defending the na-
tional collegiate title; the baseball
nine, defending the Southern Confer-
ence crown, and the highly successful
track and tennis outfits of 1936, have
their work cut out for them. Last
spring these four combinations cap-
tured 3(> of 47 dual affairs. They
have 51 such events this year, in ad-
dition to the track team's participation
in the Penn Relays and the Confer-
ence games.

The lacrosse squad has 10 tilts; the
nine is booked for 23 games; the track
team has 8 dual meets and the net-
men again have 10 matches.

Nine's Outlook Best

The nine appears to have the best
chance to match its 1936 mark, its loss-
es being less severe than the others.
Fred Thomas, catcher; George Wood,
southpaw, and Dale Patterson, pitch-
ers; Gordon Treas, first; Mike Sur-
gent, second; Waverly Wheeler, third,
and Bill Bryant and Jack Egan, out-
fielders, offer a strong veteran nu-
cleus.

Jack Hurley, Shorty Chumbris and
Tom Scharf, infielders; George Knep-
ley, first; Lefty Chumbris, outfielder,
and (had Beebe, Kyle Ruble, Charlie
Weidinger and Lynn James, south-
paw, pitchers, are the other leading
talent. All except Hurley, Beebe and
Ruble are sophs.

Loss of Charlie Keller and his big
bat was a blow that is sure to cost
some games.

.lack Kelly, goalie; Charlie Yeager
and Oden Bowie, defense; Parker
Lindsay, Charlie Kllinger and George
Watson, attack, are the letter men who
form the backbone of the lacrosse
team, which was hard hit by gradua-
tion, especially on defense.

John Muncks, goal; .Jack Downin,

defense, and Bill Groff, attack, non-

letter stickers of ir»:5<; ; Bob Neilson

and Fred Hewitt, two clever attack-

: Jim Meade, John Page and Bob

defense, and Haskin Deeley,

.\ keeper, from the last year's frosh,

present the main hopes to fill the gaps.

Bill Wolfe, defense, and Bud Ham-
merlund, attack, two men banked upon
to play regularly, were lost by unusu-
al mishaps. Wolfe stepped in a hole
and tore a knee ligament while doing-
some personal conditioning work, and
Hammerlund broke his ankle in a
tough football game with Hopkins.

Return of Bill Guckeyson, star
three-event field man, after a year on
the shelf with a minor injury, bolsters
the track team greatly, but the loss
of Coleman Headley, ace middle-dis-
tancer, until May 1, because of illness,
is a blow. Joe Ryan, sprinter; Paul
Cronin, pole-vaulter and 440-yard
ace; Hermie Evans, 440 and hurdles;
Bill Theis and Logan Schutz, quarter-
milers; Kenneth Belt and George Or-
cutt, distance runners, and Charlie
Zulick, shot and discus, are the other
leading left-overs.

Ed Miller, clever high jumper; Gor-
don Kluge, all-around field man; Joe
Peaslee, half-miler; Alex Males, jav-
elin, and Nick Budkoff, shot and dis-
cus, are the main contributions from
the 1936 frosh.

Net Team's Road Rough

It is the tennis team, though, with
only four letter men left, that has
the hardest row to hoe. Edmund
Beacham, Keaciel Krulevitz, Robert
Land and Ted Lehmann are the veter-
ans who will carry on, with Harvey
Kreuzburg and Harry McGinnis,
sophs, giving the main support.

All the schedules are difficult. Dart-
mouth, Michigan, Cornell, Navy, Duke,
Rutgers, Yale, Georgetown and Temple
are among the baseball foes, and prac-
tically every power in lacrosse in the
country, except Army, is on the stick
list, the toughest faced by any team.

Dartmouth and Navy, along with a
half-dozen Southern Conference rivals,
will be met in track, and the netmen
have booked the best in the section.

Quint Gets Tough
Break In Tourney

Maryland's basket-ball team was
eliminated by North Carolina State,
42 to 35, in the first round of the
Southern Conference basket-ball tour-
ney at Raleigh an March 4, but there
were extenuating circumstances.

Fred Thomas and Charlie Keller,
Maryland's ace guards, both were lost
in the first 10 minutes of the game.
Keller, in turning quickly to play the
ball, accidently hit a State player on
the face with his wrist, and was ruled
out by Referee Proctor on an unjust
charge of "slugging." Thomas went
out a few minutes later with a cut
received over his eye that required
two stitches to mend. It came from
an elbow jab by a State player on
whom not even a foul was called, quite
a contrast to the action in the Keller
case.

Under the conditions, Maryland,
which was playing great ball with
Thomas and Keller in action, did ex-
ceedingly well to make the game as
close as it did. Had they not been lost
the Terps believe they could have won.
•

Get A Flying Start

Maryland's varsity and freshman
teams in football, basket-ball and box-
ing did well enough in the fall and
winter sports, with the scrappers to
the forefront, of course.

In all, the six teams won two-thirds
of their events, l-egistering 35 tri-
umphs, losing on 18 occasions and fig-
uring in two ties.

They sent the spring teams off with
a fine opportunity to have a typical
Maryland record for the 1936-37 term.

Boxing Team Rules
Southern Conference

Maryland's boxing team climaxed
an interesting and successful indoor
campaign by walking off with the
Southern Conference team crown and
individual titles in the champion-
ship meet held in Ritchie Coliseum
February 26 and 21.

Ivan Xedomatsky clinched the title
by decisively defeating the great Dan-
ny Farrar of Duke in the 145-pound
final. This bout was the feature of
the tourney and Farrar had been
made the favorite by the public.

Tom Birmingham, 125-pounder, won
the other crown, defeating Johnny
Murray, a fine scrapper from Clem-
son, in the deciding bout.

Benny Alperstein. who was just
shaded by a thin margin by Jack
Knepp, Duke ace, in the final, and
Johnny Gormley, 175, and Alec Males,
heavy- earned the other points for
Maryland.

Only champs and runners-up scored,
the former getting five point and the
latter three. Thus Maryland got 19
points, Duke wi nd with 16,

Clemson, South Carolina and Citadel
followed with 8 each, and North Car-
olina got 5.

Wake Forest, N. C. State, Richmond
U. and Virginia Tech failed to count,
but each showed some good boxers in
the preliminaries.

With Maryland having the best rec-
ord in the regular season and capping
it by taking the tourney, there was
no doubt as to the Terps being best
in the Conference. They also defeat-
ed Virginia, 1936 champion, which
withdrew from the Conference at the
December meeting.

Gormley and Males deserve great
credit for helping to bring the title
to Maryland. Gormley fought despite
a painfully injured thumb that forced
him to forfeit in the final, and Males
entered the heavy class after having
fought his other two bouts of the sea-
son in the 165 and 175 pound divisions,
respectively.

Indoor Track Meet
Proves Big Success

Swede Eppley, track coach and ath-
letic director, and others of the Old
Liners were pleased with the success
of the Maryland-Fifth Regiment meet
held in the soldiers' big armory in
Baltimore on March 6.

All agreed that the affair was grati-
fying from the standpoint of keen
competition and the support it received.
It is intended to make it an annual
affair and should improve with age.

The Terps, too, gathered their share
of laurels, capturing the A. A. U. tro-
phy mainly through the efforts of
freshmen, and figuring prominently
in the collegiate events.

Joe McCluskey and Bill Hay of New-
York won the features, the Governor's

Field Day Plans
Are Being Made

Swede Eppley, track impressario and
athletic director, and his aide-de-camps

are giving serious thought right now
to the annual field day at College Park,
which this year falls upon May 1.

As usual, there will be the featured
interscholastic meet in which there will
he 1-'! open events and eight closed t I
the county high schools of the State.
Backing up the schoolboy competition
will be four varsity contests, baseball
with (icorgetown, lacrosse with Syra-
cuse, track with William and Mary
and tennis with Catholic University.

There will be no freshmen meet on
the program this year, as all the time
is needed to run off the other events.

While the times have not been defi-
nitely set, here is how the program
doubtless will be run:

12.80 Start of scholastic meet.

1.00 Start of varsity meet with William and
•Mary to he run concurrently with schoolhoy
events.

1.00— Tennis match with Catholic U.

2.00 Baseball game with Georgetown.

1.00 Lacrosse game with Syracuse.

Terps Upset Navy

Maryland's rifle team, coached by
Maj. Frank Ward, and doubtless the
best ever to fire for the Old Liners,
sprang a major upset on March 13 at
Annapolis by defeating Navy. It is a
rare feat to outshoot the Middies. The
score actually was tied at 1,393 each,
but Maryland won because of doing a
point better work at standing, the
most difficult shooting position.

practice, and all of them, with the ex-
ception of four, are members of last
year's freshman squad. He is pleased

ent to the riddled 1936 aggregation.

Goes Into Professional Baseball

Maryland has
lost its ace ball
player, Charlie
Keller, who has
been signed by the
New York Yan-
kees and placed
with Newark of
the International
League, a "farm"
of the American
Leaguers. Keller
left school to join
the Newark team
in training.

Doubtless the
best ball player
ever turned out at
Maryland and
rated the best hit-
ter the college has
produced in many
years, Keller
seems certain of
a brilliant ma-
jor league career.
His loss was a
great blow to
Coach Burton Shipley's team.

Keller, whose home is in Middletown, Md., will return to school next
to complete his work for a degree. He also was a basket-ball star and
standing and highly popular student.

Keller On Star Quint

Despite the fact that he was out of
a good many games because of an in-
jured hand, Charlie Keller was placed
on the all-State collegiate quint at
guard by Craig Taylor of the Morning
Sun. Coach Shipley rated Fred Thom-
as, his other guard, his most valuable
man in a round-up made by the Wash-
ington Star. He took into considera-
tion Keller's absence.

For Captain Sylvester

In the history of our University, es-
pecially the College Park School, there
\\a> a man who led and inspired the

rebuilding of a near-dormant institu-
tion, ('apt. R. W. Sylvester, president

of the Maryland Agricultural College
from 1892 to L912, was a man of ster-
ling character, leadership and ability.

Every word spoken by those alumni
who were fortunate to bo students un-
der him have been laudatory to the

highest degree.

In recognition of his great accom-
plishments in behalf of our University
it is suggested that those alumni who
were his students take the initiative to
have a portrait painted in oil of Cap-
tain Sylvester, and presented to the
University.

His ideals and wisdom seem to have
been imbedded so deeply in those stu-
dents of his who have today gained
positions of prominence that his spirit
should be kept alive and perpetuated
upon succeeding generations.

Volunteers are asked for and will be
given every cooperation by the alumni
office in their endeavor to accomplish
the undertaking.

"M" Club Trophy

The statement in the March number

of the Alumni News with regard to

"M" Club Trophy is in error and
should be corrected to say that the "M"
Club Trophy is for county schools relay
winners.

It was announced on the program
that this trophy was awarded on the
basis o' ive wins but it was

originally designed to be ^iven once
a year and will be continued on this
basis. The winner of the trophy this
year was Ilyattsville Hie.li School of

more City College as previously stated.

ANNUAL ALUMNI DAY
SATURDAY, MAY 29

T1IK CALL TO COLORS has sound-
ed tor the great arm; of Univer-
sity of Maryland alumni to assemble
at College Park, Saturday, May 29,
1987. It will be the forty-fifth assem-
bly of the association and the reunion
of many old friends and classmates.
Reminiscing will be the topic of the
day. calling to mind the happy days
On The Hill.

Many changes have taken place
about the old campus for those old
grads of years ago. It is a revelation
to view the modern developments in
education and to realize that you were
an integral part in its pioneer life.

Despite the many changes there are
many familiar faces who have molded
the lines of this generation. They re-
joice in seeing you and I need not say
you will in seeing them. To the more
recent graduate, your reminiscing is
a great deal more truthful as the inter-
vening years have not clouded your
faculty of memory. But each year you
can add to the exaggeration and get
just as much enjoyment. Come back
to the campus and refresh your mem-
ory as it is like the spring of youth.

The baby graduates will see many
faces they said goodbye to last year
and the year before. The fraternity
house will not be strange to them, the
meals just as enticing and probably
more so.

It takes all classes to make the day.
Those who do not return take away
from the pleasures of others.

The first call will be for registration
at 10 A. M. at the University Gym.
Here you will find out w-ho is about
from the bulletin board. Also get your
luncheon ticket, your guest ticket to
the lacrosse game, and proper identifi-
cation for an alumnus. Then you
visit the campus, look up your beloved
profs, see the new building, and remi-
nisce with Tom, Jerry, Bill, and Zal.

At noon a buffet luncheon will be
served in the gym for alumni, wives,
sweethearts and friends. The cost will
cceed 50 cents per person.

The forty-fifth annual meeting of
the association will be called to order
by President Frank B. Bines, '04, at
1 P. M. An interesting program quite

different from any previous ones will
be presented. A feature event will be
thi ition of tokens of e-teem

to all past presidents of our associa-
tion. The highlight of the program
will be a talk by Dr. H. C. Byrd, '08,
our illustrious alumnus and president
of our Alma Mater. The closing event
will be the election of officers for the
ensuing year, president, vice-president,
secretary-treasurer, and four members
of the Alumni Board.

At 3 P. M. all those who have com-
pletely registered will be guests of
the Athletic Board at the varsity la-
crosse game with Penn State College
in Byrd Stadium. This invitation came
through the courtesy of the Athletic
Board, members of which are: Dr. L.

B. Broughton, '08, chairman; Geary
Eppley, '18, director of athletics; Prof.

C. S. Richardson, '92; Dr. E. N. Cory,
'09, and Dr. W. B. Kemp, '12.

Following the lacrosse game tenta-
tive arrangements are being made for
a social get-together to be held in the
University Gym, where a buffet sup-
per would be served. A floor show
presented by talented actors would
be musical and coloi-ful. Dancing to
old familiar tunes would carry on until
the curtain falls. Alumni, faculty,
wives, husbands, sweethearts, and
friends will miss an enjoyable occa-
sion if they do not come back. A def-
inite announcement will be made in
the general letter.

When the letter arrives return your
card to assist in making adequate
preparations.

Mothers' Day For
Home Economics

In conjunction with May Day on
Monday, May 17, the College of Home
Economics will hold its annual Moth-
er's Day celebration. On this day moth-
ers of all Home Economics girls are in-
vited to the campus to view exhibits
of the work accomplished by their
daughters. The day has grown very
popular and each year the attendance
has increased.

The arrangements are under the di-
rection of .Miss .Marie Mount, dean of
the College of Home Economics, who
originated the day.

The program consists of exhibits
during the morning, followed by a
luncheon in the Home Economics prac-
tice house. In the afternoon the May
Day activities will conclude the pro-
gram.

Bill White Retires

For many years the congenial, hu-
morous, likable, and generous William
"Bill" White was proprietor of the
campus outpost. During these many
past years "Bill" was losing so much
money — at least he said so — that he
had to retire and live a more leisurely
life. Worrying with irksome students
and faculty was "Bill's" delight as he
was an English psychologist. But it
got too much for "Bill" and he decided
to retire.

Today he is a gentleman of leisure
reminiscing how his wisdom directed
many a lad along life's highway.

We are all for "Bill."

The Melting Pot

By P. D. Sanders, '24
Local boy makes good. President
H. C. Byrd, University of Maryland
■ — Eastern Shoresman, Maryland grad-
uate, able, industrious, courageous,
likable — has in the short span of
two years completely revamped the
Old Line institution and set it well
on the road to become one of our
greatest State universities. Much of
his success is attributed to three major
steps. Fh - st, the various departments
were reorganized on an economy and
efficiency basis with instructions to the
personnel that "future promotions will
be based on work accomplished." Sec-
ond, leading farmers in Maryland
were called in to suggest lines of
agricultural research and education
that should be stressed in the experi-
ment station and the extension serv-
ice. Third, as money became available
for additions to the staff, only the
very best talent was employed. Ex-
amples: Dr. M. A. Jull, to head the
poultry work; K. C. Ikeler, to head
the animal and dairy husbandry de-
partment, and a dozen other distin-
guished leaders in their fields.

Employment
Opportunities

For those who have not found per-
manent employment, it might be a
splendid idea for them to consider the
possibilities of entering the life in-
surance salesmanship profession. A
recent survey of average earnings of
members of a class 10 years after
graduation showed insurance men at
the top.

Those who might be interested in
any type of employment are requested
to contact the alumni office.

flROWNING ov THE QUEEN will be the climaxing

in of the animal .May Day festivities presented by

the Junior Class Coeds at 3.30 P. M.,on Monday, May 17.

k. May Pay is an ancient custom, hut like

eoed education at Maryland, it is comparatively young

but has grown rapidly. It was in 1923 when tin- first
May Pay was held at College Park. The cast was com-
posed oi 16 ^irls before an audience of loss than 50. This
year 126 girls will participate and with the attendance in

I years as an indication, an audience of more than
will be on hand.
Those girls of 1924 wore the pioneers in the crowning

event oi the coeducational department. In the early days
the participants assumed full responsibility for arrange-
ments and finances. They went to the forest for Bowers
and eve r gr een trimming. One young lady, who unfortu-
nately was from the hip city. New York, was unfamiliar
with all types of vegetation, but she volunteered to do her
bit and gather the necessary preen foliage. Upon her
return she exclaimed with enthusiasm her discovery of
some beautiful, shiny preen leaves. When asked to show
them she was calmly informed they were poison ivy. For
the next two weeks, needless to say, she was uncomfortable.

Such are the experiences of the May Day celebrations.

It is the custom to keep secret the theme of the narrative
and who shall be the queen. There will be, however, some
interesting highlights of the forthcoming May Day. Spe-
cial honors will lie conferred upon Mrs. John L. White-
hurst, first and only woman member of the Board of Re-
She is a former president of the State Federa-
tion of Women's Clubs and prominent in State affairs.
Mrs. Whitehurst was appointed to the board in 1933 by
the late Hon. Albert C. Ritchie, former Governor of Mary-
land.

JUNE BARNSLEY. QUEEN IN 1936

ZITA ENSOR. QUEEN IN 1923

A tribute will be paid to Mrs. Frank Day (nee Elizabeth
Hook, '21), the first woman graduate of the College Park
Schools of the University. Mrs. Day is a native of Prince
George's County and a former resident of College Park.

For the brave heart that served as chairman of the
first May Day's festivities, Mrs. S. R. Newell (Esther
Williams, '24), will be appropriately honored.

Another crowning event will be an honorary tribute
to Mrs. C. H. Hufford (Zita Ensor, '23), the first Queen
of the May. Mrs. Hufford, a Maryland girl, came from
Harford County, and continues to make her home there.

Miss Ruth Adams, daughter of Mrs. Donald H. Adams
(Eleanor Freeney, 24), will be the crown girl and Misses
Betty Ann and Hildreth Newell, daughters of Mis. S. R.
Newell, will be flower girls.

On this day the State Federation of Women's (Hubs
will he the guests of Dr. H. C. Byrd and in their honor
May Day will be presented.

In case of rain the exercises will be held the next day.

"No More Ladies" By Footlight Club

Military Day

Among the great events of the
spring schedule is the annual Military
Day on Friday. May 11. when competi-
tive drills will be held and the R. 0.
T. C. stages its final grand parade.
Sixteen companies will compete for
the Governor's Cup and top honors for
the best drilled company. Platoons
and squads will also be judged for
awards.

That which will probably attract the
most attention is the individual com-
petitive drill in the manual of arms.
For the first time in the history of the
institution, Welsh Smith, a former
Washington high school student, won
the honor for two consecutive years.
The award for this honor is presented
by the Class of 1899, headed by J. J.
Betton.

All other awards for military effi-
ciency are presented at this time, fol-
lowed by a grand parade before Dr.
II. C. Byrd, Col. J. D. Patch, and dis-
tinguished guests.

Glee Club Praised

Dear Mr. Pollock — At the enter-
tainment and dance given by The
Maryland Society of Washington on
March :S()th. at the Kennedy- Warren,
in celebration of "Maryland Day,"
March 25th. some of the members of
the University of Maryland Mixed
Glee Club were asked to be the guests
of the Society, and to give us a musi-
cal entertainment. Thirty-two mem-
bers of the Glee Club accepted the in-
vitation — 10 young ladies and 1G
young men — and they, very ably di-
rected by Mr. Harlan Randall, gave
us a splendid musical program, which
was greatly enjoyed by the more than
450 members of the Society, and other
guests present. I heard a great many
complimentary things said about the
Glee Club, and the members thereof,
during the evening, and, needless to
say. I. an alumnus of the University,
was very much pleased at the very
favorable impression made by these
young students. They made a "hit."
The University should be proud of

its Glee Club, for it is a credit to the
Institution.

Fraternally yours.

Old Water Tower
Disappears

As the alumni secretary looks around
the oldest part of the campus, he sees
one of the long-to-be-remembered land-
marks being destroyed, the old water
tower, the mecca of many a soph-frosh
struggle for the display of class nu-
merals. It is said that in the early
days the class would fly its flag
from the tower. On one occasion,
during military days, an expert rifle-
man, known as Robert McCutchon,
brought down the flag by cutting the
halyard with a bullet. Many things
happened in the days of yore which
the student of today listens to with
eager ears.

The old tower has been but an orna-
ment since 1926 when its use was aban-
doned. It was not taken down because
a wrecking company wanted $400 for
the job. Today it is being sold for a
profit of approximately $1,000 which
is due to the clouds of war rising
across the big pond.

But down comes an old familiar
landmark for the past 33 years. As
the news spread about the dismantling
the alert sophs wanted their numerals
of '39 to be the last to appear on the
tower. But the observing frosh said
that will never do and upon the dawn
of another day '40 blazed from the
tower. A compromise was reached,
assisted by the workmen's blow torch,
and the class presidents, Tommy
Scharf, the soph leader, from Glenbur-
nie, and Bob Lodges, of Baltimore, head
man of the frosh, agreed to climb the
tower, declare a truce, and say goodbye
to the cherished tradition.

England In Florida

A. G. England, '27, topographical en-
gineer for the U. S. Geological Survey,
has been transferred from Winchester,
Va., to St. Augustine, Fla. England,
who has missed but few alumni re-
unions, is looking forward to a good
account of the tenth anniversary^ of
the graduation of his class and would
like to be with them on that occasion
but feels that probably he is a little
too far away- to make the trip. En-
gland was married in May, 1936, to
Miss Mattyee Lou Cromwell of Mc-
Gehee, Ark., a graduate of Delta State
College, Cleveland, Ohio. Best wishes
to a great reunion for the class of '27,
says he.

DUTCH K1..M DISEASE This dis-
ease, which was not known to
science until it began to kill the elms

in Holland in L919, has spread to all
parts of Europe and to America. More
than 21.000 infected trees have been
discovered in America during the last
six years. Nearly all of these trees
were within 2"> miles of New fork
City, but there were a few in Ohio, in
Indiana, in Virginia, and six in Mary-
land. Their location, with one excep-
tion, coincides with tin- ports of entry
of elm logs from Europe, the railroads
over which they wore shipped, and the
veneer factories where they wore
worked up.

The first diseased lops intercepted
in this country wore in Baltimore har-
bor, August 7. 1933. They had been
unloaded from a ship and placed on a
oar to be shipped to an interior veneer
factory. Not only were they infected
with Graphium ulmi, the parasitic fun-
gus which causes the Dutch elm dis-
ease, but they were also infested with
the Scolytis bark beetles which are
known to be the principal distributing
agencies of that disease. These logs,
therefore, introduced into our State
a disease capable of killing all our elm
trees and an insect pest capable of
rapid and extensive distribution of that
disease.

The infected logs were sent immedi-

ately to a Baltimore veneer plant,
where t h i • > wore boiled for 56 ho

in order to kill all insect and fungus

life in them. Late in September of

the same year, an American elm tree
growing about 100 yards from the har-
bor developed the Dutch elm disease
This tree stood near the rampart in
Fort ufcHenry. Following definite
confirmation of the disease, this tree,
which was a foot in diameter and 25
feet tall, was taken down six inches
below the surface of the soil an I
burned.

All of the elms within a mile of
Baltimore harbor were examined twice
in 1933, and twice in 1934, and prac-
tically all other elms in Baltimore and
environs have been scouted once each
year without finding any trace of the
Dutch elm disease, except the one
tree reported above and one found on
Fort Avenue in 1936. In 1935, three
elms with the Dutch disease were
found in Brunswick and in 1 936 one
was found near Cumberland. It is
planned to continue scouting for the
disease in 1937.

The Dutch elm disease produces a
rapid yellowing and wilting of the
leaves and a brownish discoloration of
the sap wood. All trees in the State
suspected of having this disease should
be reported to the State Plant Patholo-
gist, College Park, Md.

Alumni Board Meeting

The spring meeting of the Alumni
Board was held April 2, at College
Park. Among the important subjects
discussed was the association's prog-
ress during the past year. The ALUMNI
News has been greatly improved and
membership dues have had an encour-
aging increase.

The program for Alumni Day. which
appears elsewhere in this issue, was
approved. It was also the board's opin-
ion that Alumni Day for l'.l.'JH be Sat-
urday. May 28, and that the Director
of Athletics be requested to have a
suitable athletic contest scheduled.

A committee was appointed to ap-
proach President Byrd to ask about
the possibilities of having the Old
Kossburg Inn renovated for a faculty-
alumni club.

The board favored the organizing of
an employm -nt bureau in the Univer-
sity for the centralizing of applica-
tions and apportunity contacts. A com-
mittee was appointed to study the pos-
sibilil

An amendment to the constitution.
presented at the last annual meeting
by Don Adams, was approved by the
board for passage at the forthcoming
meeting of the Association. The amend-
ment: Officers of the association are
to be elected at the annual meeting of
the Association, except the secretary-
treasurer, who shall be elected by the
Alumni Board at its first meeting fol-
lowing the annual election, and their
terms of office shall be for one year
from date of election or until their
successors qualify.

The nominating committee for th"
ensuing year is as follows: Chester
W. Tawney, chairman; Douglas Wal-
lop, Donald Kieffer, L. G. Mathias, H.
M. Carroll, Mary Stewart York, and
George Clendaniol.

Alpersiein Gains U. S. Ring Title

DENNY AJperstein, 136-pound box-
er, has added to the lustre of the
.Mai viand season by bringing home
the lightweight crown from the Na-
tional Collegiate title tourney which

was held at Los Angeles.

AJperstein whipped three great col-
lege scrappers on his way to the cham-
pionship. First he gained a decision
over Joe Brocato of Tulane, South-
eastern Conference ruler, then he dis-
posed of Karl Drexel of San Jose
College, and wound up by outpoint-
ing Bob Bates of Washington State
in the final engagement. Bates had
disposed of Jack Kneipp of Duke,
Southern Conference champ, who beat
AJperstein in the loop tourney held in
Ritchie Coliseum late in February. So
Alperstein gained a title and got re-
venge for one he didn't win.

Tom Birmingham, 125-pound South-
c in Conference champ, the only other
Terp boxer to make the trip to the Pa-
cific Coast, lost in the semi-finals after
drawing a bye in the first round.
Birmingham fought a great fight in
losing a close decision to Carl Eck-
strom of North Dakota. Eckstrom
later was voted to be the best scrapper
in the tournament.

Coach Heinie Miller accompanied
the Terps to the Coast on a trip that
was made both ways by airplane.
O
Grid Drills Pleasing
OPHIXG football has ended at Mary-
^ land and Coach Frank Dobson is
pleased with the results obtained and
the outlook for getting some needed
assets for the varsity next fall. In
fact, the oncoming Sophs appear to be
about the best rookie material, quanti-
ty and quality considered, sent up for
>od many years.

In fact, except for the inability to
(ill the shoes of such a brilliant all-
around back as Mill Cuckeyson and the
footwear of such a scintillating block-
ing hack as John Gormley, the team
for next fall could look to a better
on than in 1936. The line, as a
ile, promises to be abler and John-
ny Carliss, Pershing Mondorff and
Charlie Norton should plug holes left

by heavy losses in the 1936 backfield.

tackle or guard, are among the best
of a highly promising lot of linemen,
most of whom, though, are just in the
process of development.

The drills foretold that Maryland's
attack next fall will be run from the
single-wing and short-kick formations,
and that the double-wing, conspicuous
and effective for many years in Byrd-
coached elevens, will not be in evidence.

Dobson never used the double-wing
in his 27 years of successful coaching
before coming to Maryland, but kept
it as a part of the Terp attack during
the last two seasons, first, when he
was field coach with Jack Faber at
the helm, and last year when he was
head mentor.

The coaching staff next fall will be
the same as last season, with Faber
as Dobson \s assistant; Al Heagy as
line mentor and Al Woods as fresh-
man tutor. Woods now is a member
of the faculty, having recently been
appointed as assistant professor of
agronomy by Prof. J. V. Metzger,
head of that department.

team, is giving a helping hand to his
alma mater by coaching the yearlings.
Zal hasn't a world of talent, but is
doing a good job and broke even in
his first two games, beating Baltimore
Poly after losing to Baltimore City
College. His charges showed a keen
knowledge of the fundamentals in the
second tilt.

Bel Air Is Helpful

1>EL AIR, Md., certainly has been
good to the Terp track team. Right
r.ow, Frank Cronin, fi-om that place,
is one of the mainstays of the varsity
team. Running the 100, 220 and 440
at various times and pole-vaulting to
victory in most meets.

Cronin recently set the school mark
for the 440 at 49.2 in beating Johnny
Hofstetter, noted Dartmouth runner,
and with Joe Ryan, regular sprinter out
with a bad leg, he went to the res-
cue is other meets in the shorter dis-
tances and came home in front most
of the time.

Now Maryland has Roland Hulshart,
sprinter; Jack Archer, quarter-miler,
half-miler and broad jumper, and Jim
Kehoe, half-miler and miler, as Bel
Air contributions on the freshman
team and all are sparkling. Hulshart
in a recent meet ran the 100 in 10 se-
conds flat and stepped the 220 in 22.4.
O
Keller Highly Praised
/CHARLIE Keller, Maryland's great
^ ball player from Middletown, Md.,
who went to the Newark Beai - s as the
property of the New York Yankees,
is making a hit with the International
League Club. Here is what Oscar
Vitt, manager of Newark, had to say
about Charlie:

"Only once before in my life have
I seen a young player hit the ball as
far as young Keller. It was back in
1919 when I was coach of the Red Sox
and we were training at Tampa.

"Our manager, Ed Barrow, decided
to make an outfielder out of a young
pitcher named Ruth, and he lost the
ball over the distant race track.

"I am not predicting Keller will be
another Ruth, and if God gives him
good health there is no reason why
he shouldn't be. The boy simply can't
miss. He's only 19 and can hit a ball

Vl'Kll.

even bit as good as Ruth could el

that i

"\lf has those big shoulders, can

throw anil field, aiul. more important,

ho le\ all."

Joe McCarthy, pilot of the Now

York Chih. also was quoted a- Baying

that Keller would be in the Yankee

outfield ■ - >n.

Spring loam l»u-\

OPRING sports were sailing along at a
^ merry pace when this was written,
with the outlook that tho Terns would

hold their end up in good stylo a<
usual.
Tho hermhall team had won four of

its five game, scoring '"'7 runs and
making 61 hits: tho track squad had
broken even in four meets, taking
two of three within tho Southern Con-
ference; tho lacrosse aggregation, al-
though bowing to Baltimore A. C. and
Mount Washington after boating Har-
dily, is a capablo college ton.
whilo the tonnis players wore sailing
along: on a 50-50 basis.

Inexperience or. defense is tho thorn
in the side of the lacrosse team, while
the tracksters are short on hurdlers
and without a sprinter much of the
time with Ryan suffering: from a bad
leg:.

Bill Guckeyson, who returned to
track after a year on the baseball
team, has been scoring: heavily in the
shot and discus, winning- most of
the time, but had to remain out of the
javelin throw in the three meets after
winning: the event against Dartmouth.
O
: Thomas, flashy g-uard. is the
first Maryland basketer to pass the
Ion point mark this season. He rang:
up 103 in his first 13 games to lead
the Terps by a big- margin.

public offices.

Whitehurst Hall

While looking about for an ap
propriate name for tho now girls" dor-
mitory it is suggested that it bo named
Whitehurst Hall in honor ot' tho first
and only woman member of tho Hoard

of Regents.
It seems to bo a custom to honor

those who are first in some groat move-
ment, and Mrs. Whitehurst is certainly
a pioneer in tho coeducational develop-
ment in tho State University.

Coed Debaters Tie

A^ a I'limax bo their most BUCCeSS
fill season in Maryland forensic his-
tory, the two coed teams entered in
the Grand Eastern tournamenl tied for
first place with North Carolina state
Teachers College.

The Old Line debaters competed
against twenty-nine colleges, repre-
senting the Fast's leading coed arguers
in the three-day tourney held on the
Winthrop College campus at Rock-
hill, S. C.

The affirmative team, composed of
Ruth Kreiter and Ruth Lowry, debated
on the question: "Resolved: That Con-
gress should be empowered to lix min-
imum wages and maximum hours,"
won four out of five of the opening
rounds to enter the finals. Maryland's
negative team of Carolyn Clugston and

Baltimore, according to expert reck-

The girth of this old elm measures
II feet; its limb-spread is enormous
and its loftiest branches lower more
than 100 feet skyward. In size and
grandeur it is surpassed only by two
trees of this variety known in this sec-

ALPHA Rim CHAPTER of Alpha
■^ Chi Sigma, professional chemis-
try fraternity, with the assistance of
the chemistry department, presented
the seventh edition of the Biennial
Chem Sho, Thursday evening, April 8.

As usual, invitations were extended
to the chemistry classes of high schools
within a radius of 50 miles and,
through the medium of Washington
and Baltimore newspapers, to the gen-
eral public. The record attendance on
a rainy evening testified to the repu-
tation and popularity of the event.

Interesting Exhibits

Some of the exhibits in each divi-
sion of the department found particu-
larly interesting to the visitors were:

The semi-plant scale equipment of
the new Industrial Chemistry Labora-
tory in the Arts and Science Building,
including filter presses, a vacuum drier,
hydraulics apparatus and a huge gas-
fired furnace; the spectroscopic ap-
paratus, the fluorescence and radioac-
tivity demonstrations and student mod-
els of sulphuric acid processes in the
Inorganic Laboratory; cathode ray
tubes and other spectacular apparatus
on display through the courtesy of the
Physics Department, a visual dem-
onstration of the effects of growth
regulators (hormones) in plant growth
in the Plant Physiology Laboratory.

Nitrogen

Items of unusual interest in the
Physical Chemistry Laboratories in-
cluded a device for regulating pres-
sure employing a vacuum tube recti-
fier and a photo-electric relay, demon-
strations of polaroids, a complete dem-

onstration of every available method
for measuring hydrogen ion concen-
trations (colormetric, and electromet-
ric, including the glass electrode) and
a working model of the arc process
for nitrogen fixation.

The State Feed and Fertilizer Con-
trol Laboratories were open for inspec-
tion, displaying the typical operations
involved in their analyses.

The Organic Department opened
their research laboratory to the public.
Apparatus on display included a large
extractor and various devices for anal-
ysis. Typical student set-ups were on
view in the elementary laboratories, as
well as exhibits indicating the natural
origin of many organic materials.

Glass Blowing

Exhibitions of glass blowing by two
students, one an undergraduate, were
major sources of attraction during the
evening.

Considerable credit was due to the
many prominent industrial concerns
which furnished most attractive dis-
plays of their products.

An innovation of this show was the
double performance of a stage show
in the auditorium featuring a liquid
air demonstration by Dr. M. M. Har-
ing and chemiluminescence by Justin
Paddleford, president of the frater-
nity and in charge of the entire pro-
gram. A capacity crowd was in at-
tendance at both presentations.

Possibly the most concise summary
of the show may be expressed by the
one common criticism of the visitors:
"There is too much to see."

followed after the destructive pests
have abandoned operations for the
season.

Annual feeding and spraying of this
tree are regarded as essential in pre-
serving its life for future decades.

President of the Student Govern-
ment A bs ition is the office of popu-
larity, leadership, and fellowship. To
this office John Muncks. an engineer-
ing student from Baltimore, was elect-
ed by a vote of 662 — 584. Muncks is
a member of Phi Delta Theta and has
attained membership in several hon-
orary groups.

It was a close race between two ath-
letes for the vice-presidency. Waver-
ly Wheeler, of Washington, D. C, a
football, basket-ball, and baseball play-
er of noted ability, defeated his fellow
team mate in the same sports, William
Bryant, of Takoma Park. As both
have winning ways, its is a mystery
as to whether the coed voters turned
the trick.

The modest but cheerful and friendly
Dorothy Hobbs of Linden, Md., deci-
sively captured the secretary bono

Mike Sargent, of Eckley, Pa., and a
student of Physical Education, is the
president of the Men's League, a part
of the Student Government Associa-
tion. Mike is remembered for his grid-
iron and diamond performances.

From the ranks of Kappa Kappa
Gamma, Ruth Lowry, of Baltimore,
captured the presidency of the Wo-
men's League, while Jean Patter

a sorority sister and daugher of Dr.
Alex Patterson, '07, D. D. S., is second
in command. Jane Kephart, a Kappa
Delta of Takoma Park, won the secre-
taryship.

In the Y. W. C. A., Elinor Brough-
ton, daughter of Dr. L. B. Broughton,
'08, head of the Chemistry Depart-
ment, was elected president.

The closest race in the elections, as
recorder of points in the Women's Stu-
dent Government Association, was be-

tween Bess Patterson (the winner),
and Margaret Crisp, both daughters of
alumni. Bess Patterson is the second
daughter of Dr. Alex Patterson, '07,
D. D. S., and Margaret Crisp is the
second daughter of A. Byron Crisp,
'07, of the College Park Schools, to
enter the University,

With the elections on the shelf, se-
niors forget their cares and new offi-
cers prepare for exams and look for-
ward to next year.

Maryland Mapping Agency

I \ \ IKW of tlic recent impetus given
■*■ national and regional planning, the

utilization of natural resources ami

development of community industrial
and commercial projects, a .Maryland
Mapping Agency has been sponsored

by the .Maryland state Planning Com-
mission and the University. The nci'ii-
cy was organized and is directed by
Professor S. S. Steinberg, acting dean
of the College of Engineering, as a
project of the Works Progress Admin-
istration and in cooperation with the
National Resources Committee, Head-
quarters for the agency is located in
the Engineering Building at College
I'ark.

Already the agency has proved it-
self of great value to the engineers
and citizens of Maryland, and has
attracted nation-wide attention among
engineers and surveyors.

A Burvey made by Professor Stein-
berg sometime ago showed that more
than 20 state organizations were map-
ping Maryland for various purposes.
In addition, almost an equal number
of Federal orgaizations were making
maps of the State. To these must be
added the large number of city, county
and private units, each of which is en-
gaged in similar surveying and map-
ping work.

It became evident that with three
score or more uncoordinated agencies
producing maps of Maryland, an en-
gineer or citizen seeking map informa-
tion might of necessity have to visit
a large number of these organizations
in order to secure certain desired in-
formation. There was then conceived
the idea of having a central agency
at which would he collected and cor-
related the various maps of Maryland
and its suh-divisions for the conveni-
ence of those who needed such infor-
mation.

This led to the organization of the

Maryland Mapping Agency, one of

whose functions is the establishment

of a library of maps and charts of the

I hort time this central

ttcy ha> been operating, it has

tided fully the expectations of those

who red it. Many organiza-

llOUi the Sta'e. as well a -

and private i
availed themselves of the
rendered by the agency, it

■•d the attention of

which, realizing tin

istence of similar conditions, have
studied Maryland's program.

In addition to studying, classifying,
preserving, and filing maps, the agen-
cy has several other important func-
tions: it coordinates the efforts of the
many agencies. Federal, State, city,
county, and private, making surveys
and maps in Maryland in order to
avoid duplication and overlapping; it
serves annually as a central meeting
point for representatives of other
Maryland map-making organizations
to discuss, coordinate and plan for
mapping of the State; and plans to
develop uniform specifications for sur-
veying and mapping.

As a result of the Civil Woiks Ad-
ministration surveying project, that
was conducted in Maryland in 1934
under the direction of Professor Stein-
berg as the representative of the U.
S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, there has
been developed in the State what is
known as a plane coordinate system.
This network of lines and elevations
ties in with that established by the
national government. Until recently
the Maryland Mapping Agency has
had a field party extending these
lines. The eventual completion of this
survey network will make it possible
to tie in all boundaries of private and
public property in such a way as to
make them indestructible. This will
eliminate much of the confusion and
and litigation that has resulted from
conflicting property boundaries.

Woods Now On Staff

A L WOODS, Maryland backfield star
**■ in 1930, '31, and 32, now is a mem-
ber of the teaching staff at the Uni-
versity, having recently been named
assistant professor of Agronomy. He
was graduated in the class of '33 and
took advanced work the following
term.

Al, who is an all-time Maryland
pick of President H. C. Byrd, under
whom he played, will continue to
C tacb the freshman grid squad. Last
year he turned out a snappy, finely-
coached combination that won four
games and tied one. His charges
showed a varied offense and unusual
teamwork for a yearling eleven.

Woods was all-State selection in
1931 and '.",:.'. and the latter season was
named as the best gridder in the Dis-
1 1 id of Columbia area.

Oldest Dental
Graduate Dies

A member of the Class of 1863, Dr.
Samuel Wagner, D.D.S., died at his
home in Gabon, Ohio, February 7,
1937, at the age of 99. He was born
and raised at Woodsboro, Md., but
went to Ohio soon after the close of
the Civil War in 18G5, two years after
his graduation from the old Baltimore
Dental College, now the Dental School
of the University. He began the prac-
tice of dentistry and served the com-
munity for a half century.

DR. SAMUEL WAGNER

As a young man he took a keen in-
terest in outdoor sports and was a
member of Gallon's first real baseball
team. His civic activities included
the theatrical club, teacher in Sunday-
School and Knight Templar of the
Masonic Order.

His delight was to give a recount
of his night buggyride with three boy
companions from Frederick to Get-
tysburg to hear Lincoln's address.

Dr. Wagner was also the oldest resi-
dent of Gabon, Ohio. He is survived
by two daughters, Mrs. Biehl and
Mrs. Ransdall, both of Gabon.

The roadster skidded around the
corner, jumped into the air, knocked
down a lam)) post, smacked against a
stone fence and then stopped. A girl
climbed out of the wreck. "Darling,"

both varsity and freshman combina-
tions.

When Rosj Pollock insisted that the

deadline for the May issue Of the

"Bingville Bugle," otherwise the
Am mm NEWS, had been reached and
that I must turn in my copy, the var-
squads in the four sports men-
tioned had won 28 of -42 contests, and
the freshmen in the same pastimes
had taken L6 of L9.

In fact, it appears that every var-
sity team is certain to hang up a bet-
ter record than could reasonably have
been expected at the outset of spring
competition. This is particularly true
of the baseball and track outfits and
just about as applicable to the la-
crosse and tennis teams.

Two Have Finished

Track and tennis have ended, with
the cinderpathers taking seven of nine
dual meets and the rackcters winning
live of nine matches, but the stickmen
have yet to meet Penn State at College
Park on .May 2'.". and the nine takes
a northern trip, starting June 10, for
live tilts, engaging Vermont twice,
Dartmouth, Vale and Temple.

With Coleman Headley. ace distance
runner, lost for the season, and Joe
Ryan, sprinter, incapacitated most of
the time, the trackmen did remark-
ably well. They were led by Frank
nin. runner and pob-vaultcr; I'.ill
Guckeyson, discus, javelin and shot
star; Edwin Miller, soph high jumper
who vet a new University mark of 6
feet ::■"•, inches and won the Southern
oference title; Hill Theis, quarter-
miler; Kenny licit and Charlie Orcutt,
distance men. and Alex Males, rookie

lie -I art was
much be'

a 50-50 campaign. However, with
Lied Thomas, catcher; Waverly Wheel-
er, third; Mike Surgent, second, and
Bill Bryant, outfielder, giving a veter-
an regular nucleus, and Lefty Wood
and Dale Patterson, vets, and Charlie
Weidinger providing a capable slab
trio, the Terps hit a fast pace to win
12 of Hi games with only the jaunt
north left.

Weidinger, along with the brothers
Chumbris, Shorty and Lefty, and Ed-
die Johnson, were sophs to show their
worth in varsity debuts.

Jack Egan, outfielder, and Tommy
Scharf and Gordon Freas, infielders,
were big helpers, the first named
playing fairly regularly.

Joining the others in rising to the
occasion, the lacrosse team marched
merrily along in collegiate ranks,
though beaten in early games by the
powerful club teams, Mount Washing-
ton and Baltimore A. C.

Stickmen Upset Navy

Starting the season with a task of
rebuilding the defense, though pos-
sessed of a fine attack, few looked for
another victory over Navy such as
scored on May 15, at Annapolis, when
the Terps won, 6 to 2. It was the first
time in years that the Maryland team

had been looked upon, at best, as hav-
ing no better than an even chance and
generally was considered the under-
dog. But while the attack was soar-
ing to great heights to penetrate the
powerful Navy defense, the Maryland
defense also came through in excep-
tional style, with Jack Kelly doing by
far the best job of his career in goal.
Seventy-five hundred fans watched the
Terps turn the trick.

By the time the next issue of the
News rolls around, we will have a
complete summary of the entire year
in sports to dish out, so we will not di-
gress further on matters now.

Games In North

For the good of alumni who may be
close enough to see some of the tilts,
here is the list of the ball games to be
played in the North:

June 10 and 11 — Vermont at Bur-
lington.
June 12 — Dartmouth at Hanover.
June 14 — Yale at New Haven.
June 15 — Temple at Philadelphia.

Maryland beat Vermont and Temple
in games at College Park, but lost a
12-to-ll affair to Dartmouth, that was
called at the end of the eighth inning
on account of darkness.

Pitcher Found

Dale Patterson of Indian Head, Md.,
Maryland's ace pitcher, failed to make
the freshman nine and consequently
did not come up to the varsity in his
sophomore year. He was a candidate
for the infield as a freshman and
started pitching as a soph in a frater-
nity intra-mural loop. He came to the
varsity last year as a junior. He was
only 16 years old when he entered col-
lege and now is much taller and .'50
pounds heavier than when he was a
yearling.

•

All-Timers

There are five all-time all-Maryland
football players on the University
campus. Hill Supplee and Al Heagy,
ends, both in the Chemistry Depart-
ment ; Roy Mackert, tackle, head of

Physical Education; Al Woods, quar-
terback, recently named assistant pro-
fessor in Agronomy, and Bill Guckey-
son, senior student. Supplee was in
the class of '26, Heagy was '31, Mack-
ert was '22, and Woods was '33.
•

Holzapfel Good

Norman Holzapfel, of Hagerstown,
has been one of the outstanding mem-
bers of the Terp freshman lacrosse
team, although the game was entirely
new to him when he came to College
Park. He made the grade as regular
center and his stickhandling and play
along other lines has been exceptional
considering the circumstances.

Riflemen Win
Third Corps Trophy

We were up on the range the other
day, and while we won' engaged in

clearing the dust from atop the cabi-
net in which the records are kept, we

were greeted by the entire varsity and
freshman rifle squads.

It seems that they had been called
to hear some kind of a proclamation,
which had recently been issued. After
a time we were very much surprised
to see Major Ward, who incidentally
coached these aggregations, walk qui-
etly in and just as quietly sit down
and take from his pocket an extremely
long, but official document. Having all
his men around him he began to read.
In the course of his lecture we dis-
covered several important facts. First,
that the paper was merely "General
Orders No. IV Second, that it was
concerned with the various honors
achieved by Maryland's neophyte and
veteran marksmen during the current
season. Finally, that this group of
riflemen must have been fairly good
at punching the centers from the lit-
tle white targets.

It seems that this Varsity aggre-
gation won the championship of the
Third Corps Area, and was being re-
warded by a silver cup and ten bronze
medals. Then, they carried off the
title, to the W. R. Hearst competition
for which Davis, Jensen. Welch, Mat-
tingly, and W. Davis garnered shields,
and gold medals. In their final achieve-
ment, the winning of the N. R. A.
Middle Atlantic postal league, the
varsity sharpshooters took ten bronze
medals.

Not content with these honors the
remainder of the squad, the freshmen,
pt the field to win the National
Intercollegiate team championship for
which Meeks, Riley, Woodward, Preble,
and Laughhead received bronze med-
als. Here the medal pinning ceased
for a time, until Jensen was pinned
for taking the Mehring Trophy. Mat-
tingly took the award for a new range
three position score of 289, Riley car-
ried off the frosh high match average,
and Lanigan received recognition for
being the most improved marksman.

his point someone remembered
that a certain genial army officer had
been behind all of this glory and fine
shooting, and that pe I'Ped for-

ward. With great solemnity Pat Lan-
igan presented Major Ward with a
nine Meershaum pipe "to our
friend, in recognition of ser-
rendered."

Husky Freshman

Maryland has a versatile athlete in
Charlie Norton, husky freshman. Nor-
ton played halfback on the yearling
eleven last fall, was the regular center
on the basket-ball quint, and is a star
pitcher on the ball team. Recently
when the cubs did not have a ball
game, Norton helped the yearling
tracksters beat Gallaudet College by
scoring nine points on seconds in the
javelin, shot and discus. He had no
practice in these events.
•

Catcher Thomas
Turns Professional

Another of Terpdom's stellar ath-
letes deserted collegiate ranks last
week when Fred (Knocky) Thomas
started on the trail which seems des-
tined to end in the majors as he left
College Park to join the Trenton Sena-
tors of the New York-Pennsylvania
League.

The Old Line catcher was signed by
the Washington Club of the American
League and was immediately optioned
to the minor league team.

He Loves
The Game

Eddie Johnson, son of the famous
Walter, is making a fine ball player
for the Terps. Playing in the out-
field he has hit around .380 with 16
games gone. It is possible that he
may try pitching next year to see
if there is a chance of following in
Dad's footsteps in that line. He won
his letter in basket-ball during the
past season, too.

May Be Back

Bill Guckeyson, Maryland's four-
letter athlete, may lie back at College
Park for the 1937-38 term, ami if ho
has another year in each track, base-
ball and basket-ball. He didn't play
basket-ball or compete in track in his
junior year, playing baseball instead
of the latter, due to nerve trouble in
his shoulder. Guckeyson had hoped

to enter W • ' Point, but the outlook W

The Victor E. Albright Scholarship

A SCHOLARSHIP, in memory of his
father and mother, has been estab-
lished at the University by Honorable
Victor K. Albright, ;i nath i i rett
County, Bid., and now president of
the Randall State Bank, Madison. Wis.

Mr. Albright has made available "to
the Hoard of Regents of the Univer-
sity of Maryland, its successors and
assigns, the sum of five thousand
dollars ($5,000), in trust, to consti-
tute a p irpetual endowment, the in-
come each year to be used for a schol-
arship for the benefit of graduates of
high schools of Garrett County. Md."
The scholarship will be known as the
Victor E. Albright Scholarship.

In accordance with the requests of
the donor, the scholarship is to be
awarded "to a boy or girl of good
character, of fair health, of the Cauca-
sian or white race, who was born and
reared in Garrett County, Md., and
who graduates from a high school in
Garrett County, Md., in the year in
which the scholarship is awarded."

The %'alue of the scholarship, "Two
Hundred Dollars ($200.00) per an-
num, is to be paid by the Board of Re-
gents to the scholar selected, in such
installments during the school year as
the Committee on Scholarships and
Student Aid of the University of Mary-
land, or its successors, may recom-
mend."

The purpose of this scholarship is
three-fold: first, to urge a boy or girl
to do his best scholastic work in each
year of his high school course so as to
become (digible for this award; sec-
ond, to encourage or assist him in se-
curing a college education; third, to
impel him to do creditable scholastic
work in every semester of his college
course.

Usually a scholar will be appointed
every four years, but through low
grades or other causes a vacancy may
occur at any time and a scholar may
be appointed in any year. Therefore.
B copy of this instrument shall he sent
by the above-mentioned Committee

every high school principal in Gar-
rett County. Md., once each year soon
after the opening of high schools in

the fall. The principal of each high

,.,l in Garrett County. Md.. shall
giv< tudents a full knowledge

of the terms of this scholarship twice

h year by posting a copy of same

the school bulletin board, by pub-
lishing in the local press, or bj read-
the full student body, to

the end that all eligible students may

be given an opportunity to compete
throughout their high school courses
for the scholarship here offered.

The philanthropic act by Mr. Al-
bright has exemplified a commenda-
tory gesture in behalf of the youth of
our State and nation. Although he
was never a student at the University,
he has shown an interest in the services
the University is rendering the people
of the State. His undergraduate days
were spent at West Virginia Confer-
ence Seminary at Buchannon, gradu-
ating in 1898. From Ohio Wesleyan
University he received his A. B. in
1901, and in 1904 his Master of Arts

VICTOR E. ALBRIGHT

degree from Harvard. Columbia, in
1909, bestowed upon him a Doctor of
Philosophy degree. Intermingled with
his graduate work was four years of
teaching. At Ohio Wesleyan he was
a member of the Sigma Chi social
fraternity.

Out in Preston County, W. Va.,
is a town bearing the name of Al-
bright, from which migrated Mr. Al-
bright's grandfathers, settling near
Cranesville, W. Va. Here his father,
Edmund, and his mother. Nancy Jane
Albright, were born. It was shortly
after his father's return from the
Civil War when he married and set-
tled on a nearby farm. A few years
later he purchased a farm just over
the line in Garrett County, Md. Here
Victor Albright, the only son of a fam-
ily of five children, was born.

Mr. Albright's ancestry goes back
to great-grandfathers, both named Al-
bright, descendants of early Pennsyl-
vania Germans, who migrated from
York, Pa., in the early part of the
nineteenth century and settled near
the present known town of Albright,
in Preston County, W. Va.

In 1910, Mr. Albright married Miss
Georgia French and went to the Uni-
versity of Wisconsin as instructor in
English. After four years of teaching
he organized the Randall State Bank,
serving first as cashier for three years,
then as president for the past 19 years.

He is the author of "The Shake-
spearian Stage," a literary treatise
which was published in 1909.

The gesture by Mr. Albright is cer-
tainly a generous consideration in be-
half of the youth of Garrett County,
Md., and the News takes this occa-
sion to express laudatory praises for
his splendid act.

Keller Nite
Successful

When Charley Keller. '.37. former
Old Line diamond star, now a profes-
al ball player with the Newark
Club, appeared at Oriole Park the
alumni group of Baltimore staged a
reception for him. Keller was called
from his dugout to the home plate
prior to the start of the game and
here he was met by Ches Tawney. pres-
ident of the Baltimore alumni. Burton
Shipley, his former coach, and Geary
Eppley, director of athletics. In rec-
tion of his fine accomplishments
he '■ nted with a traveling bag

by Shipley on behalf of the Bal-
timore alumni. Keller's mother who
in the stands, was presented with
a bouquet of flowers by Ches Tawney
on behalf of the Baltimore group.

Following the game Keller wai
rounded by quite a mob of enthusias-
tic rooters from the Old Line school.

Norwood Sothoron monopolized him
for a while in a broadcast under the
auspices of Whea'

Spring Mixer
Well Attended

Maintaining their drive to build a
large alumni group in Baltimore, a

mixer was held on April 16 at the

Lord Baltimore Hotel. The affair was

well attended and is certain to become
an annual function.

George Schmidt, '25, a former pro-
fessor of the School of Speech at Syra-
cuse University, gave a very interest-
ing talk on his experiences with the
French Foreign Legion. George has
traveled quite extensively in Europe
and his talks are enlightening. Dr.
H. C. Byrd, Ms. president of the Uni-
versity, gave a few brief remarks, as
did Geary Eppley, director of athletics.

F. Gordon Hammond, '84, secretary
of the group, made several announce-
ments anil read a resolution from the
Alumni Board of the association rec-
ognizing the gift from the Baltimore
group which inaugurates the Alumni
Scholarship Fund.

President Chester W. Tawney. '2\\
was toastmaster for the occasion.

Before and after the talks, the alum-
ni and many faculty members could
be seen chatting and generally getting
acquainted which is a most ideal way
of perpetuating the real University
spirit.

May Day Was
Well Attended

She was crowned Queen of the May,
Miss Flora Edith Waldman, an honor
graduate in the College of Home Eco-
nomics. "Flo,"' as she is known about
the campus, bedecked herself with
many honors as an undergraduate.
Among her many offices were presi-
dent of the V. W. C. A., secretary of
her class in sophomore and junior
years, and secretary of Student Gov-
ernment in her senior year, a member
of Mortar Hoard, the Riding Club and
Rifle Team, adding to her honors the
Women's Citizenship Prize. She is a
member of A. 0. Pi and several hon-
orary sororities.

In the queen's court were Jerry
Schuh, M irj Bee Crisp. Florence Hill.
Jean Barnsley, Isabel Resnitsky. The
Queen was crowned by Miss Dorothy

Hobbs, president of the Women's

League.

were well presented.

•
Military Annual
Competitive Drill

It was a damp day for the R. 0. T.
C. boys on May 17 when the annual
competitive drill was held.

Despite the rain it was as usual a
very colorful affair and there was just
as much zip in the drill as if nothing
were wrong. The parade was the final
formation at which time awards were
presented. Company C, commanded
by Capt. Irving P. Mendelsohn, cap-
tured first honors. Second platoon of
Company A, commanded by Lieut.
Parks Patterson, was tops among the
platoons. The squad drill was won
by Corporal Harvey Kreuzberg, Com-
pany I, second platoon, third battalion.

The individual honors for the best
soldier probably attracts as much in-
terest as any other. This was won by
Francis Zalesak, brother of E. F.
Zalesak, '25, newly-elected president
of the Alumni Association.

The drill climaxed a great year for
the Unit and for the fifteenth time won
the excellent rating among R. O. T. C.
units.
